One Tech Tip: How to spot AI
LONDON (AP) — AI fakery is quickly becoming one of the biggest problems confronting us online. Deceptive pictures, videos and audio are proliferating as a result of the rise and misuse of generative artificial intelligence tools.
With AI deepfakes cropping up almost every day, depicting everyone from Taylor Swift to Donald Trump, it’s getting harder to tell what’s real from what’s not.

These fake images might seem harmless. But they can be used to carry out scams and identity theft or propaganda and election manipulation.
Here is how to avoid being duped by deepfakes:
