What Even Is a Deepfake?
A deepfake is a video or voice clip where AI swaps someone's face or voice to make them look like they said or did something they never did. Some are silly TikTok stuff. Some are used to trick people. You need to know the difference.
- Watch the mouth: does it match the words?
- Watch the eyes: do they blink normally?
- Listen to the voice: does it sound a little flat or robotic?
- Check the source: who posted it, and do you trust them?

When in doubt
Ask a trusted adult. Search the news on a real news site. Do not share the video until you are sure. Sharing fakes makes the problem bigger even if you did not make it.
Key terms in this lesson
