Deepfakes - counterfeit content generated by AI algorithms - are on the rise, staining the internet with doctored pornography, fake videos of political leaders, and bot accounts.

There are now 14,678 deepfake videos plastered on the net, according to a report [PDF] written by Deeptrace, a startup focused on building software that can detect the machine learning forgeries. That number has shot up 100 per cent, up from 7,964 videos posted over the last nine months to the current figure.
