Real or Fake?
Learn how to spot AI-made fakes before you believe or share them.
What you'll learn in this level
- What a deepfake is
- How you can spot fakes
- Why the source matters more than the picture
Faked Videos and Voices
AI can now create deceptively realistic videos, photos, and voices of things that never actually happened – this is called a "deepfake".
Knowing how to spot these fakes protects you from falling for false information.
How it works
- 1
Pause
Does something make you very angry or very happy? Then take a second look.
- 2
Check the source
Who published it first? And can you trust that place?
- 3
Cross-check
Are other people reporting it too? People who have nothing to do with each other?
- 4
Don't forward
Are you unsure? Then don't pass it on. Every share makes a false story bigger.
Guess first, then experiment
You are about to hear a voice message. It sounds like someone from your family. How much sound does an AI need to copy a voice like that?
Every fake you spot sharpens your eye.
A Faked Video
A video shows up in your feed of a famous person saying something surprising.
Problem: The video looks completely real, but the person never actually said it.
What should you do first?
