Fake videos have become such a potentially disruptive threat that the high-tech research arm of the Pentagon is launching a contest in early July aimed at detecting “deepfakes,” hoax videos so realistic that they could trigger political scandal or even spark violent conflict.
Some 10 teams from major U.S. universities across the United States and Europe will compete in a two-week contest to devise techniques to distinguish between fake and real videos.
“The goal is to provide the general public … a set of tools that we can use to verify images, video and audio,”said Siwei Lyu, a computer scientist at the University at Albany that leads one of the research teams taking part in the contest, sponsored by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.

Are they looking at what the DemocRATs say on the media?
A new arms race of sorts.
“techniques to distinguish between fake and real videos“
But not government fake videos.
Geee....I don’t know why I’m so cynical.
Hmmmm.....maybe they should’ve talked to Susan Rice and HELLary about FAKE news videos.
Good call, planting the seed, yes.
I think another motive is they themselves already have robust vid spoofing tech.
This just means the video evidence against some of the high and mighty Swamp critters is so damming and shocking that we have to be made to believe that our lying eyes are not to be trusted.
Our all seeing alphabet agencies will tell us what to believe.
“techniques to distinguish between fake and real videos“
Hmm, okay.
If it comes from the major news sources, it’s a hoax.
If it comes from a Leftist effort, it’s a hoax.
If it is geared to trashing Trump, 99.95% of the time, it’s a hoax.
If it contains a Leftist talking head, politician, ANTIFA member, BLM member, George Soros... chances are 99.95% it’s a hoax.
Hope that helps Pentagon.
I was thinking that they are looking for the most skilled fake vid makers to do their bidding...
But, all those pictures of people with those giant pet rabbits or those huge fish they catch, those are legit right? Those aren’t a hoax are they? Well what about those videos of those giant snakes swallowing people whole? Those aren’t a hoax are they? Some must be real!
Come on Siwei Lyu would never steer you wrong.
Talking about fakes, the cream of the crop is found on YouTube channel named ThirdphaseofMooon. UFO fakes galore in there.

Probably want yo see if their vid analysis tools are good.
Prepping the cover story for disturbing videos of hillary and huma
The government thinks it will get so bad that we will believe anything, when in fact if it gets that bad we will believe nothing.
..they never thought she would lose...
