Google’s deepfake detector system used to debunk McConnell hoax pic

A deepfake image of Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell was debunked using Google's deepfake detector system. The image, which appeared to show McConnell in a hospital bed, was AI-generated and not real. This highlights the potential for AI-generated misinformation to spread quickly. Engineers should be aware of the capabilities of deepfake technology and the tools available to detect it.
