Police to use AI to counter deepfake videos

With the help of Artificial Intelligence, the Delhi police will counter deepfake videos circulating on the social media, said a Delhi police officer on Wednesday. A senior police officer said that during the investigation, it was found that deepfake videos were posted through social media accounts operating out of Delhi and such videos have fuelled the violence. Fake or morphed videos shared via social media have contributed to the violence in Jamia Nagar. "We are taking the help of cyber experts to detect deepfake videos with the help of Artificial Intelligence. We have come across more than 30 old videos of violence that happened in U.P., Bihar and other parts of the country that were posted as Jamia Millia Islamia incident. These videos are making rounds in the social media," the officer added.
