Cybersecurity faces an emerging threat generally known as deepfakes, Malicious uses of AI generated synthetic media, the most powerful cyber-weapon in history, is just around the corner. The cybersecurity industry has only a short time to get ahead of it before it challenges public trust in reality. In response to this scary thought, Hany Farid, the "father" of digital image forensics, told The Washington Post, "Increasingly accessible tools for creating convincing fake videos are a deadly virus. However, the number of people working on the video-synthesis side, as opposed to the detector side, is 100 to 1." Nation-states and Hollywood VFX artists have been able to manipulate media since the very beginning of media, but today anyone can download deepfake software and create convincing fake videos in their spare time because the cost of producing these new forms of synthetic media has decreased significantly. It will soon be as easy to create a fake video as it is to add an Instagram filter.
