There are three different categories of deepfake today, according to Hany Farid, a computer science professor at the University of California, Berkeley. At left, the face-swap image, which in this image sees actor Steve Buscemi's face swapped onto actress Jennifer Lawrence’s body. In the middle, the puppet-master deepfake, which in this instance involves the animation of a single image of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Bridgman said the MEO has been looking into Tenet Media and expects to publish a study. The company was recently reported to have received millions of dollars from Russian state-controlled media company RT to promote Russian messages.
