  • Mis/Dis: Exploring Misinformation and Disinformation takes a look at how fake news, misinformation, disinformation, and Deepfakes are being handled by media companies and journalists. In Part 2, we speak with Dr. Siwei Lyu, a professor of computer science and engineering with the University at Buffalo in New York. Lyu says he has been studying ‘Deepfakes’ for years and tell us not only the origin of the term, but how people can verify content through a new program he and his students created. You can learn more about the professor here. And here’s more on the professor’s, DeepFake-O-Meter.

    Up next is Shayan Sardarizadeh, a senior investigative reporter with BBC Verify, one of the newest units at the global news channel. Sardarizadeh walks us through how he and his team vet and verify content before it makes it on air and online. Learn more about BBC Verify here. And follow Sardarizadeh here. And finally, California State Assemblymember Marc Berman wrote a bill to clamp down on social media companies who allow Deepfakes to be posted, and forces the companies to allow people who claim to be victimized by Deepfakes a chance to have their fake images removed.
