The Hague-based agency added that the spread of disinformation and deep fakes will have a profound impact on the way people view authority and the media.


There are a number of ways to detect fake videos using deep fake technology, the most prominent of which are:

There are a number of programs available that can help users identify fake videos such as Fake Catcher developed by Intel.
