Top tips for detecting “deep fake” videos

Deep fake technology

 is a technology It relies on artificial intelligence to create fake videos or photos that appear real.

Devastating effect

Last year, the European Police Agency (Europol) warned of the expanding use of “deep fake” technology.
Europol said that the ability to make people appear on the Internet, saying or doing things they have never said or done, or even creating completely new personalities, could have a devastating impact, if this technology falls into the wrong hands.
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:

1- Look for evidence of video manipulation

This evidence can include asymmetry of movements or inconsistencies in the background. For example, the person in the video may appear to be moving unnaturally or the background does not match what is expected.
Video quality analysis
Fake videos are often lower quality than real videos. These signs can include low image resolution, distortions, or blurring.

2- Use deep fake detection software

There are a number of programs available that can help users identify fake videos such as Fake Catcher developed by Intel.
These programs work by looking for evidence of manipulation in the video, such as inconsistent movements or inconsistencies in the background.
Be skeptical
It pays to be skeptical of videos that seem strange or unusual. If the video looks like it couldn't be real, it probably isn't.

3- Check the video source

If the video comes from an unreliable site or person, it's likely fake.
Find information about the video, If the video is controversial or important, there will likely be information about it online.
