Real or Fake — Can You Tell Perfect “Deep Fakes” in the Next Year

DeepFakes can appear as Videos or Images, and it is getting harder to tell if they are real.

He stated that within 6 to 12 months, these types of images would be fully available to everyone, and it will be harder, to tell the truth from fiction.
