News 12 Talks New Jersey

News 12's Walt Kane explores the latest trend of creating deepfake videos for public consumption. It's a new trend that uses computer software to merge the image of one person with the words of another, or in some cases use vocal soundalikes. Walt sits down with Adam Levin a cybersecurity expert with the company CyberScout to talk about the technology behind the videos. We discuss the way these manipulated videos are being perfected just before the upcoming presidential election.  And we talk about the potential ethical issues and how this practice may be betraying the public trust with Patrick Murray from the Monmouth University Polling Institute.
