Episode Details

A new Utah Valley University study reveals a chilling truth: voters across the political spectrum can’t reliably spot deepfake videos, with detection rates hovering around 15-19%. Using just a regular laptop and accessible tools, students created convincing fakes — proving this tech is no longer the domain of tech giants. With over 600 participants tested, the results were consistent: political affiliation doesn’t matter — everyone’s vulnerable. As elections loom, researchers urge us all to verify sources, question what we see online, and remember that thinking you’re too smart to be fooled makes you the most susceptible.
