The technical process behind creating real-time deepfakes
Creating a real-time deepfake involves a multi-step process including face detection with MediaPipe, pixel segmentation, background inpainting, and using a dual autoencoder to swap faces.

Demonstrating deepfake attacks and social engineering
A live demonstration and real-world examples show how deepfakes can be used for social engineering, leading to significant financial loss and tricking people into executing malicious files.
#5about 5 minutes
Training a language model for automated social media posting
A GPT-2 model was fine-tuned on data scraped from Reddit and Twitter to automatically generate convincing but inflammatory social media comments, demonstrating bot capabilities.
#6about 5 minutes
Why automated detection tools and shallow fakes fail
Automated AI detection software often fails to identify novel generation methods, while simple "shallow fakes" like slowed-down videos or out-of-context images are highly effective at misleading the public.

Practical steps for manually identifying fake news
The most reliable way to combat misinformation is through critical thinking, which involves investigating the source, checking the date, considering satire, and being aware of personal biases.
