    OpenAI’s flawed plan to flag deepfakes ahead of 2024 elections

    As the US moves toward criminalizing deepfakes—deceptive AI-generated audio, images, and videos that are increasingly hard to discern from authentic content online—tech companies have rushed to roll out tools to help everyone better detect AI content.

    Over the last few years, there have been many indie games that debuted on PC and consoles that felt like they’d be a perfect fit for mobile.
