I think the strategy of just publishing the AI-generated deepfakes and educating the public, so as to immunize everyone against the concept, is a good one.
It’s not feasible to “catch” a Chinese law enforcement officer or propaganda worker operating from China - as long as they remain home, all that’s possible is to take down the fakes.
But she notes, mostly correctly:
“They don’t use this on men. Because it doesn’t really hurt men,” she said.
…and there’s history of it not working on men. Back in the old days (1960), KGB tried to blackmail the Indonesian president Sukarno with authentic sex tapes. Sukarno just requested more copies, saying that the footage was popular back home.
There is no shame in being targeted with deepfakes. There is shame involved in targeting others with deepfakes.
Law enforcement should try to pursue those who do it, but society should become immune to this phenomenon. It should be brushed aside with no social consequences to the person being targeted (or positive consequences like increased solidarity).
