Graduate student Aruna Sankaranarayanan speaks with Mashable reporter Cecily Mauran about the impact of political deepfakes and the importance of AI literacy. Sankaranarayanan’s “biggest concern isn’t deepfakes of the most famous politicians in the world… but of important figures who may not be as well known” explains Mauran. “Fabrication coming from them, distorting certain facts, when you don’t know what they look like or sound like most of the time, that’s really hard to disprove,” says Sankaranarayanan.
