Michelle Posted July 16, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Researchers have developed new algorithms that can turn audio clips into realistic, lip-synced videos of the person seeming to say those words.

ExpandMyMind Posted July 16, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 16, 2017 (edited) This is actually scary for the effect it will have on not just fake news but also conspiracy theories.
