SaTC: CORE: Small: This project aims to “combat deepfakes more effectively and beyond detection with active and proactive approaches to root out deepfakes and protect individuals from deepfake attacks. The active and proactive approaches take effect before the deepfake is generated. The active approach does not interfere with the training or generation of deepfakes, whereas the proactive approach aims to disrupt these processes to prevent the deepfake. This project work provides timely and needed technologies to mitigate the negative impacts of deepfakes in cyberspace and society at large.”
