After uncovering AI-generated "news presenters", CNA has now found around 260 fake videos of Jack Ma spreading falsehoods about Singapore. The case highlights how AI can convincingly replicate real public figures to spread disinformation, raising questions about why these deepfakes have become so convincing despite existing AI safeguards, whether they can be traced back to the same tools or operators, and how those safeguards are being bypassed. Daniel Martin spoke with Professor Anthony Tung from the Department of Computer Science at the National University of Singapore about how these deepfakes are created and why they are becoming increasingly convincing.
