‘Media landscapes have shifted more rapidly than ever, and one of the most challenging developments is the rise of deepfake technology. A deepfake is a type of synthetic media created by AI that can convincingly mimic real people and real events. These digital creations can affect public perception, political discourse, and even personal lives. As a result, it is essential for people to gain the skills needed to recognize and evaluate deepfakes. Libraries are uniquely positioned to take a leading role in this work to help individuals navigate a world in which truth and fabrication are more tightly intertwined than ever before.’
