Fake news is real -- A.I. is going to make it much worse

"The Boy Who Cried Wolf" has long been a staple on nursery room shelves for a reason: It teaches kids that joking too much about a possible threat may turn people ignorant when the threat becomes an actual danger. President Donald Trump has been warning about "fake news" throughout his entire political career putting a dark cloud over the journalism professional. And now the real wolf might be just around the corner that industry experts should be alarmed about. The threat is called "deepfaking," a product of AI and machine learning advancements that allows high-tech computers to produce completely false yet remarkably realistic videos depicting events that never happened or people saying things they never said. A viral video starring Jordan Peele and "Barack Obama" warned against this technology in 2018, but the message was not enough to keep Jim Carrey from starring in "The Shining" earlier this week.
