Understanding Fake News and Deepfakes

In today’s digital age, we encounter a lot of information online. Some of it is true, but some of it can be fake. Two common examples are fake news and deepfakes. Let’s learn what they are and why they exist.

Fake News

Fake news refers to false information that looks like real news. People create fake news to mislead others, spread rumors, or influence opinions. For example, someone might write a fake story about a celebrity or a political event to make people believe something that isn’t true. Fake news often spreads quickly because it can be shocking or interesting, and people share it without checking if it’s real.

Deepfakes

Deepfakes are videos or images that use artificial intelligence (AI) to change how someone looks or sounds. For example, a deepfake video might show a famous person saying something they never said. Deepfakes are created using advanced technology and can look very real, making it hard to tell they are fake. While some deepfakes are used for entertainment, like making funny videos, others are made to trick people.

Why Do These Exist?

There are several reasons fake news and deepfakes are created. First, some people use them to make money. For example, fake news websites can earn money from advertisements when many people visit their site. Second, others create these to influence opinions, especially during elections or important events. Lastly, some do it for fun or as a joke, but they don’t think about the harm it might cause.

It’s important to think critically about the information we see online. Always check if the source is reliable and avoid sharing something unless you are sure it’s true. By doing this, we can help stop the spread of fake news and deepfakes.

2016 U.S. Presidential election – Fake news bot

During the 2016 U.S. presidential election, fake news spread widely on social media and news platforms. In particular, AI-powered, automated bots played an important role. These bots automatically generated distorted information or false stories about specific candidates or political issues, and distributed them in large quantities on social media. This resulted in some voters making disinformation-based decisions. Fake news worked in a way that drew attention and spread people's attention in real time using AI technology.

1. 출처 확인

신뢰할 수 있는 출처: 뉴스의 출처가 신뢰할 수 있는 미디어인지 확인하세요. 유명한 언론사나 전문가들이 제공한 정보는 대체로 신뢰할 수 있습니다.

출처의 주소 확인: URL이나 웹사이트 주소가 정확한지 확인하세요. 예를 들어, ’http://www.nbcnews.com‘과 ’http://www.nbcnewss.com‘은 비슷하지만 후자는 가짜일 수 있습니다.

1. Check the Source

Is the website or person reliable? Trusted news outlets are more likely to provide accurate information.

2. Look for Evidence

Does the article include facts, data, or quotes from experts? Fake news often lacks clear evidence.

3. Watch for Sensational Headlines

Fake news often uses shocking or emotional headlines to get attention. Be cautious if it sounds too unbelievable.

4. Cross-Check Information

Search for the same story on other trusted sites. If only one source reports it, it might not be true.

5. Check the Date

Sometimes, old news is shared as if it’s new, creating confusion.

6. Verify Images or Videos

Fake news often uses edited images or deepfakes. Use tools like reverse image search to check their origin.
