The Claim
AI-generated deepfakes can replicate the appearance and voice of real individuals to disseminate false information.
What the research says
Not yet evaluated
We are still looking at what the research says.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
AI-generated deepfakes can create realistic video and audio simulations of real people to spread false information.

AI-generated deepfakes can replicate the appearance and voice of real individuals to disseminate false information.
Artificial intelligence analyzes real human speech and facial movements to create synthetic versions that match the original exactly, then outputs videos and audio that trick human senses into believing they are real.
What the research says
3 studiesThis study shows that AI can make fake voices that sound almost exactly like real people, which means bad actors could use them to trick people into believing false things. Even though the study is about how to spot these fakes, it proves they’re good enough to fool us.
Study: Why Do Facial Deepfake Detectors Fail?
This study shows that computers often can't tell fake videos and audio apart from real ones, which means the fakes are super convincing — just like the claim says.
Study: Deepfake Detection and AI’s Role in Preventing Digital Fraud
This study says AI can make fake videos and audio that look and sound exactly like real people, and bad actors are already using them to trick people and spread lies. So yes, deepfakes can do exactly what the claim says.
