A recent criminal case in Maryland highlights the potential harm of deepfake technology. The case involved a high school principal who was framed as racist through a fake recording created using generative AI. This technology has become increasingly accessible, allowing anyone with internet access to manipulate audio, video, and images with ease. The rapid improvement of AI has made it difficult for human ears to detect manipulated audio, posing a significant concern for the spread of disinformation. Actions to address this issue could include stricter regulation, self-enforcement by AI providers, digital watermarks, and increased law enforcement and consumer education. However, it is essential to balance these efforts with the positive uses of AI and cultural differences in AI usage.
