Deepfake 2020: New artificial intelligence is battling altered videos before elections

Deepfakes are video manipulations that can make people say seemingly strange things. Barack Obama and Nicolas Cage have been featured in these videos. A video of President Donald Trump singing "America the Beautiful" received over 50,000 views on Instagram when it was posted just before the July 4th holiday. Did the president really record a video of himself singing and post it to social media? But with the growing prevalence of altered videos and intentional mischief, the question "Is it real?" is one we will need to ask with more regularity.
