Scientists are falling victim to deepfake AI video scams — here’s how to fight back

Nature quoted Siwei Lyu in an article about how scientists are falling victim to deepfake AI video scams, with Lyu noting that scientists should be cautious when sharing media on social platforms.

“Having the original version of the video helps to debunk the fake,” he said, adding that many deepfake videos are made from authentic ones by lip-syncing them to different messages. Posting the original version of a clip is one way of combating such misinformation.
