"Deepfakes are Artificial Intelligence-generated videos which can make people
appear to do and say things they never did.

Ever since the first low-quality deepfakes emerged five years ago, the
technology has been viewed as an emerging threat to national security, liberal
democracy and even truth itself.

In 2021, that threat has come much more sharply into focus, as examples such as
the Tom Cruise video show the technology is now ready to produce lifelike
fakes.

Few would have predicted that the harbingers of a future some speak of in
apocalyptic terms would be a graphics wiz from Belgium and a Tom Cruise
impersonator."
