[Air-L] Texts on Deep Fakes, Propaganda

[Andrew Strait]

Hi Seth,

I might also suggest WITNESS as a resource. They've written some excellent
reports and conducted several regional workshops on risks and mitigations.

Regards,
Andre

   - *Why we must build authenticity infrastructure that works for all
   <https://blog.witness.org/2020/05/authenticity-infrastructure/>:* This
   blog explores key questions around the recent move to authenticity
   infrastructure, as well as initiatives like Adobe's Content Authenticity
   Initiative
   <https://theblog.adobe.com/the-content-authenticity-initiative-summit-collaborating-to-drive-trust-and-transparency-online/>.
   Drawing on our *Ticks* report, we explore key questions and describe
   what an optimal future looks like.

   <https://blog.witness.org/2020/04/whats-needed-deepfakes-detection/>:* This

Amid
   today's crisis, the spread of inaccurate information can cause further
   panic, and lead to behavior that increases the risk of spreading
   transmission. In this new WITNESS resource, we provide tips and guidance
   on how you can help slow the spread of misinformation by verifying images
   and videos that you see online.
   - *Countering misinformation in the era of COVID-19
