For decades, we have foolishly assumed that the advancement of technology was a purely positive thing. And the release of every new technology has had hugely negative effects that we did not foresee.

When it comes to deepfake technology, I honestly believe it has the potential to destroy society.

For years, we've unknowingly relied on the medium of video to know for sure what happened and what didn't happen. Soon, video will not be trusted.

This renders CCTV footage useless. Police body cameras useless. And footage of governments committing horrific acts useless.

All video footage will be up for question.

What are we going to do when even video can't be believed. How will we know what's true and what's false with so much synthetic media being created at such a rapid pace?
