Deepfakes are being used to push anti-Ukraine disinformation

Influence operations with ties to Russia and Belarus have been found using deepfakes to push anti-Ukraine disinformation. Last week, AI News reported on the release of a study that found humans can generally no longer distinguish between real and AI-generated "deepfake" faces. As humans, we're somewhat trained to believe what we see with our eyes. Many believed that it was only a matter of time before Russia took advantage of deepfakes and our human psychology to take its vast disinformation campaigns to the next level. Facebook and Twitter removed two anti-Ukraine "covert influence operations" over the weekend.
