China uses deepfake technology to fake news reports

According to AFP, US-based social media research firm Graphika released a new report, claiming that China is using Deepfake technology to create fake new anchors in order to spread deceptive political content. The report analysed a video by the fictitious media outlet “Wolf News”, featuring two news anchors, a man and a woman. However, while the anchors initially looked natural, their hairlines remained stiff and their robotic voices often did not sync with their facial movements. The subtitles contained many errors as well.
