The Future of Faking Audio and Video
This Verge article isn’t great, but we are certainly moving into a future where audio and video will be easy to fake, and easier to fake undetectably. This is going to make propaganda easier, with all of the ill effects we’ve already seen turned up to eleven.
I don’t have a good solution for this.

The death of evidence. Witness testimony is completely unreliable. Video and audio are (increasingly) easily faked. Biometrics can be planted and faked (fingerprints, hair, DNA).
On what basis will we convict people of crimes, beyond a reasonable doubt?
