00:00Meanwhile, fake audio and videos are becoming more and more real
00:04because of the help of AI, which is called deepfake.
00:08It was feared that it would be used in the election,
00:10so the camera has a hidden agenda against it.
00:14And Tina Pangliban Perez was able to spot it.
00:19There are a lot of Filipinos who have been spotted on social media.
00:23But with the rapid and abundant changes in technology,
00:26it's hard to believe everything we hear and see.
00:30Deepfakes, or videos or audio,
00:35were made by a computer program using artificial intelligence
00:39that you think is real.
00:41A negative effect of deepfakes is the spread of disinformation or misinformation.
00:48It can cause panic, it can cause chaos or even conflict between two countries
00:56if someone believes in scams or identity theft.
01:00Sometimes, deepfakes are used.
01:04Based on what's happening in other countries,
01:07deepfakes were also believed to be used in the election of 2025.
01:11We have seen that in other countries,
01:14there are instances where deepfakes were used
01:17to find out how the election will run, the campaign.
01:23We should always remember that not everything we see and hear online is automatically true.
01:34There are ways to check if what we see, watch or listen to online is a deepfake or not.
01:43But these methods are not 100 percent.
01:46Usually, deepfakes are seen directly on the screen.
01:53The eyes are never closed.
01:54Now, there are deepfakes where the eyes are blinking.
01:59Another example would be the audio that we hear out of sync
02:05when opening the mouth while speaking.
02:09There is no law that prohibits the use of deepfakes.
02:13But there is evidence that Kavita Rep. Lani Marcado-Revilla
02:17and her children, Kavita Rep. Ramon Jolo-Revilla
02:22and Aguima and Martelis Rep. Brian Revilla
02:25are against the malicious use of deepfakes.
02:27It will result in a heavier punishment for the crimes committed by deepfake technology.
02:33According to the Department of Information and Communications Technology,
02:37part of the National Cybersecurity Plan is about deepfakes.
02:41The police is yet to issue a statement on this issue because the consultation is still ongoing.
02:47The hard part in making a policy judgment is on the one hand, you have freedom of expression.
02:52On the other hand, of course, you have to regulate because it is harming someone.
