It appears that the penalty for deepfaking the sitting president at scale is $1 million. Regardless of political figure or party affiliation, this seems like a relatively low figure for causing intentional disinformation with the express intent of dissuading citizens from voting — all done with a voice #deepfake. I implore our elected officials to reconsider the ramifications of such harmful incidents on a macro and micro scale and adjust the penalties accordingly — lest they actually want to put a comparatively paltry price on spreading such disinformation within reach of bad actors.

Reality Defender's Ben Colman was recently on the Open Data Science Conference (ODSC) Podcast to discuss how Reality Defender is working to prevent the many dangers of deepfakes in our ever-growing GenAI world. Listen below or wherever you access podcasts.

The former president just shared deepfakes of Taylor Swift on Truth Social, purportedly depicting the pop star's supposed endorsement of his campaign. This incident does not only highlight the dangers of #deepfakes on a grand political scale, especially when it comes to disinformation. It also shows the failings of preventing such things from disseminating widely, and the lack of legislation requiring such things to be proactively detected, flagged, and publicly classified from the start.

When Google launched Imagen 3 to all users, Reality Defender launched Imagen 3 detection. All on the same day. Learn more about Reality Defender's Imagen 3 detection capabilities in the latest post from Head of Product Diana Hsieh, now live on our web platform and API.

Google's Imagen 3 was just released to the public. Reality Defender can detect Imagen 3-created images on day one. Which means all Reality Defender clients can now detect Imagen 3 images from the jump. Yet another reason why companies trust Reality Defender to detect #deepfakes and AI-generated content where it matters most.

Earlier today, Elon Musk's XAI launched Grok-2, a brand new image generation model, to the public. Within minutes of its launch, users were already generating abusive, horrific #deepfakes and publishing their works to X/Twitter — all because of Grok-2's relatively non-existent "safeguards." Fortunately, Reality Defender can detect images made using Grok-2 on day one. You read that right: all Reality Defender users can now detect Grok-2 images on the same day Grok-2 was released.

Over 100 million Americans are on track to use Generative AI by the end of 2024. With this surge in popularity comes the rise in deepfake fraud and abuse. Reality Defender's Ben Colman writes about the detection-oriented answer to this inevitable rise, today on the Reality Defender blog.
