Artificial intelligence is going to make it easier than ever to fake images and video

Smile Vector is a Twitter bot that can make any celebrity smile. Its results aren't perfect, but they're created completely automatically, and it's just a small hint of what's to come as artificial intelligence opens a new world of image, audio, and video fakery. Imagine a version of Photoshop that can edit an image as easily as you can edit a Word document -- will we ever trust our own eyes again? "I definitely think that this will be a quantum step forward," Tom White, the creator of Smile Vector, tells The Verge. "Not only in our ability to manipulate images but really their prevalence in our society."
