Goku makes deepfakes easier, requiring skepticism and AI literacy investments.
As AI lowers the barriers to content creation, abuse is also becoming more feasible. Deepfakes, AI-generated images, videos and audio designed to mimic real people, pose serious risks. This increases the risk of misinformation, identity theft and political manipulation. With tools like Goku making hyper-realistic content easier to produce, responsible AI use and deepfake detection must become priorities. Society must become more skeptical of digital content and invest in solutions to identify and counteract fakes. The only effective cure is to invest in AI literacy.
