Friday night, live on NewsNation, I proved #KarenReid videos/photos were manipulated… This is an example of #Shallowfakes. A “shallowfake” refers to a type of manipulated media, typically a video or audio recording, that has been altered using relatively simple and accessible editing techniques. Unlike “#deepfakes,” which use sophisticated artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to create realistic but entirely synthetic content, shallow fakes rely on more traditional and less complex methods such as basic #videoediting, #splicing, or #audiotampering. The original X (Twitter) post sharing the manipulated photos/video can be found here. https://lnkd.in/eTFV-5QN

Your eyes can see manipulated audio even if your ears cannot hear it... Learn how I used spectrogram analysis to uncover manipulation in a recorded conversation. I will also explain how I translated the technical #audioforensics concepts into plain language when I gave expert testimony in this case.
