A report from Channel 14 highlights a new phenomenon of video hijacking using artificial intelligence, where scammers download videos of real creators, isolate their voices, and overlay synthetic faces onto their bodies to promote products and generate fake interactions. The article details five signs to detect fakes: lack of synchronization between lip movements and voice, especially on consonants; frozen and static lighting on the face compared to changing lighting on the body and surroundings; blurring at the connection between face and neck or hairline; pupils that tend to drift or look sideways with a frozen gaze; and a dull metallic sound in headphones with artificial silence between words, lacking background noise or breaths. The article notes that the Election Committee decided yesterday (Sunday, July 26) that it is mandatory to mark election propaganda created or edited by AI with a special label.
