Zuckerberg says Facebook ‘evaluating’ deepfake video policy

(AP) — Facebook San Francisco CEO Mark Zuckerberg says the company is evaluating how it should handle “deepfake” videos created with artificial intelligence and hightech tools to yield false but realistic clips.

In an interview at the Aspen Ideas Festival in Colorado on Wednesday, Zuckerberg said it might make sense to treat such videos differently from other misinformation such as false news. Facebook has long held that it should not decide what is and isn’t true, leaving such calls instead to outside fact-checkers.
