The last video in the article, with the British prime minister is very good. This is going to be interesting going forward. Anyone could start denying anything they said on camera and claim deep fake. A lot of people seem to not want to really try to discern some truth in what is being said by politicians, so deep fakes as a tool could be useful even by just claiming they are used.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You can very well digitally sign a video, DRM is not needed.

Can you sign it with the aljazeera key in your keychain?

No? But aljazeera can sign their content with their private key. That's how signing works...

Why is voice audio always so hard to get right? Seems like it should be easier than video because the data rate is lower than video but computer generated audio has always been terrible.

Either a possibility or a tangent: video is less time sensitive (think 24 fps film) than audio, which in turn is less time sensitive than haptic feedback.

(Sentiment du fer may seem like a strange idea to us, but in disciplines where 40 ms is important, it may help to base reactions on senses which are more time sensitive than the eyes.)
