Summary
University of Toronto computer science professor Aviad Levis says people should check where images and videos came from rather than rely on visual clues to spot deepfakes, which can change as AI tools improve. He advises verifying the original source and seeking independent confirmation, especially before acting on urgent messages involving money or personal information.
