Detect DeepFakes
This is an MIT research project. All data for research is collected anonymously for research purposes.
This project will show you a variety of media snippets including transcripts, audio files, and videos. Sometimes, we include subtitles. Sometimes, the video is silent. You can watch the videos as many times as you would like. The site will ask you to share how confident you are that the individual really said what we show. If you have seen the video before today, please select the checkbox that says “I’ve already seen this video.” And remember, half of the media snippets that are presented are statements that the individual actually said.

How deepfakes undermine truth and threaten democracy
The use of deepfake technology to manipulate video and audio for malicious purposes — whether it’s to stoke violence or defame politicians and journalists — is becoming a real threat. As these tools become more accessible and their products more realistic, how will they shape what we believe about the world? In a portentous talk, law professor Danielle Citron reveals how deepfakes magnify our distrust — and suggests approaches to safeguarding the truth.
Discussion Questions:
- What are some of the possible uses for video and audio deepfakes?
- What is trust? How do we normally verify information we receive?
- How does this type of technology erode trust in existing systems of accountability in society?
- Can you think of any possible positive uses of this technology?
