The $100,000 grant for RIT comes from the The Ethics and Governance in A-I Initiative , a joint project from the MIT Media Lab and Harvard's Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society. This project and the other projects funded by this effort are aimed at helping combat the spread of misinformation, particularly when that happens through the use of artificial intelligence. At RIT, researchers will work on designing software to help automatically detect what they call, 'deepfake videos.'
