The threat of AI-generated fake images and videos, known as deepfakes, has surged dramatically, with approximately 46% of all manipulated media worldwide attributed to deepfakes. Research indicates that about one-quarter of these are designed for political manipulation, used as tools to influence public opinion and spread disinformation. Such content primarily spreads through social media platforms, with a particularly high incidence observed in the United States. Including uses for fraud, pornography, and the misuse of public figures, deepfakes have become a serious risk in today’s information environment, demanding strengthened countermeasures.
