From WSJopinion: What should we do about AI deepfakes? In this week’s Future View column, students discuss the impact of machine learning and digitally altered photos and videos

The response to the Trump deepfakes is vastly overblown. With every commenter fretting about the potential for public confusion, we must ask: Were you fooled, even briefly? Did you know anybody who was? It seems as though everyone is imagining some hypothetical person who lacks the ability to perform a simple Google search.

Subtle deepfakes could be plausible if they aren’t easily verifiable and play on existing suspicions. For example, Ron DeSantis’s foreign policy is mostly unknown. Given his recent comments on Ukraine, a subtle deepfake showing him making a favorable comment aboutIn large part, we vote for politicians based on our perceptions of their preferences. If convincing deepfakes manipulate our perceptions of politicians’ preferences, our ability to choose effective representatives will suffer.

But we could authenticate online content by having original creators turn their content into an NFT and share it in that format. By creating a method to authenticate original videos or other forms of unique content online, we would essentially repeat the process that we’ve already gone through with currency. Because of this, AI will have a far larger role in entertainment and education than in spreading misinformation.

But as deepfakes become more realistic, there is a higher chance that they will trick the general public. AI learning is like any other tool; it can be used for good or bad. Computers have been used for such great things as mass communication and quick access to knowledge, but they have also been used to manipulate, spy and steal money from the vulnerable. Like computers, AI has the capacity to do good and harm—we must be wary of it.
