Deepfakes from Space

The rise of AI makes it easier than ever to generate fakes. Since the Cold War, images from space have served as a method of verification for the media, governments and the public. Now, technology has threatened this once seemingly irrefutable source of truth. We have collected some of the latest deepfakes from space for you here. We are also working with partners on an AI tool that will enable us to expose such deepfakes for you. We are looking for beta users for this. Just write to us if you would like to be involved.
