Your CEO Isn't Real: How to Deal With Deep Fakes

The history of deep fake technology is surprisingly long. Researchers at academic institutions have been developing deep fake tech since the early 1990s. The idea is even older, as popular science fiction--like the 1987 film The Running Man--can attest. But deep fakes are no longer relegated to the realm of sci-fi; they are, in fact, more present in our daily lives than you might realize. It's easy to think of deep fakes as some sort of advanced CGI used to create highly realistic animated films or to replace established actors in a film or television series, especially in cases where actors pass away unexpectedly before filming is complete.
