Deepfakes, or synthetic media generated through artificial intelligence, are becoming easier to create and more realistic.<\/p>\n

There are many apps available for users to create deepfakes, and this has contributed to the rise of deepfakes on the web.<\/p>\n

Every few months, a new deepfake is deployed on the internet that looks or sounds more realistic than ever. But with the rise of this new technology comes new possibilities and new concerns.<\/p>\n

Deepfake technology can revolutionize the production and consumption of media as we know it, and this can lead to positive as well as negative outcomes.<\/p>\n

It is important now more than ever to educate viewers on this technology and its implications.<\/p>\n

Tackling deepfakes in Africa<\/strong><\/p>\n

FactSpace West Africa through the GhanaFact project<\/a> is partnering with FakeNetAI<\/a> to produce Africa\u2018s first-ever news section dedicated to deepfake technology and media literacy content.<\/p>\n

Our goal will be to educate and engage viewers on deepfake technology so that Africa can be prepared for what is to come.<\/p>\n

The project will be launching our first article in the next few days. Subscribe (Click here<\/a>) to our mailing list for updates!<\/p>\n
