About this episode
What happens when seeing isn't believing? Deepfake technology has been around for a long time. It's used in movies and we use it through apps on our phone. But this type of technology could be devastating if abused. This week, Heritage's leading expert in tech policy, Klon Kitchen, will explain more on what deepfake media is, examples of deepfakes that already exist, and the risks this type of technology poses to our democracy and national security.
