Speakers included: - Prof. Hany Farid who introduced the study. - Ronja Kemmer MdB, Chairwoman of the Special Committee on Artificial Intelligence, who spoke spoke about the threat of deep fakes in Germany and the legislative countermeasures the country can take. - CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler This report explains not only the technology of creating deep fakes, but also talks about potential technical opportunities for their detection and makes policy recommendations to counter the threat of deep fakes.

Especially during the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, the spread of misinformation and conspiracy theories have risen to new heights, as non-state actors – among them extremists and populists – tried to take advantage of the situation. But also state actors have engaged in the distribution of fake news concerning the virus, putting their own citizens at risk. Today, disinformation campaigns are often supported by so called deep fakes – seemingly real synthesized videos of any kind of content. Because of fundamental advances, significant technical skills to produce such deep fakes are no longer necessary, transferring the ability to create them from specialists to a wide range of actors. This increases the risk of their misuse and challenges our democratic societies to find political solutions to fight this growing threat. In order to shed more light on this issue and to discuss in what way the rise of deep fakes can pose a risk to our societies, the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung together with the Counter Extremism Project (CEP) initiated the creation of a study titled: “On the Threat of Deep Fakes to Democracy and Society”. The paper was launched in an online-seminar on June 29. Besides the authors – Prof. Hany Farid from the University of California Berkeley and Senior Advisor at the CEP, and Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler, Senior Director of CEP – who presented the study, Member of the German Parliament and Chairwoman of the Parliamentary Committee on Artificial Intelligence, Ronja Kemmer, attended to give an insight on the threat of deep fakes in the German policy context. Prof. Farid gave an elaborate overview on the history and especially the technology behind the creation of deep fakes and the possibilities to detect them – be it with technologic solutions or even with the human eye. He also painted a very clear picture on the areas for which deep fakes are weaponized, such as non-consensual pornography, misinformation campaigns or fraud, stressing the necessity to regulate the creation and distribution of deep fakes. Ronja Kemmer emphasized the German parliament’s urgency to tackle the issue of deep fakes in the context of digital transformation. German policy-makers are supporting this agenda by encouraging research projects on the topic and improving public education to raise awareness for the fact that not all online content, including videos, is necessary true. It is important for Germany to find the right balance between protecting internet users from disinformation campaigns and at the same time not over-regulating, limiting open speech. The Q&A session brought up some insightful questions of the about 150 participants that were answered by the panelists. This discussion showed that the topic is relevant to many, not only in the German or American society, but also across the world – having had attendees from South America, Eastern Europe and many other countries.
