History

Historical Context

In April 2018 Jordan Peele and BuzzFeed released a deep-fake of Barack Obama to warn of AI-generated lies; the U.S. House Intelligence Committee held hearings on malicious deepfakes in June 2019, and Facebook later funded a Deepfake Detection Challenge that generated over 35,000 models. That early alarm frames today’s flood of AI-crafted Trump and Jeff Landry images on Truth Social.
