Obama says he's been target of 'deepfakes,' predicts next election cycle will be rife with false info
Former President Barack Obama suggested in a new interview the development of "digital fingerprints" to combat misinformation and distinguish between true and misleading news for consumers.
Obama sat down with his former White House senior adviser David Axelrod for a conversation on the latter's podcast, "The Axe Files," on CNN Audio. During the interview, Axelrod noted he's seen "misinformation, disinformation, [and] deepfakes" targeting Obama.
"As I've told people, because I was the first digital president when I left office, I was probably the most recorded, filmed, photographed human in history, which is kind of a weird thing," responded Obama. "But just the odds are that I was. As a consequence, there's a lot of raw material there."

The former president added that the deepfakes — digitally manipulated images, audio or video that appear legitimate — started with a version of him dancing, "saying dirty limericks" and similar kinds of activity.
"That technology's here now," continued Obama, who warned about the issue getting worse moving forward. "So, most immediately we're going to have all the problems we had with misinformation before, [but] this next election cycle will be worse."
He then suggested "digital fingerprints" to discern truth from misinformation.

Sure - just as soon as Bammy the Dogsqueeze shows us his sealed records.
David Axelrod interviewing Obama,a more perfect circle of a$$ kissing has never been recorded in the digital age.
As usual with The One, it's all about him.
Also as usual with The One, he has no idea what he is talking about. Hey obozo, blow it out your ass!
You are not alone.
Just like (and as stupid as) guns that can only be fired by one person.
But, this is Obama — the idiot that simply won’t return to the African village of birth.
We start with Certified Birth Certificates, Originals ONLY
He’s hearing footsteps....
Line up all misinformation about both Obama and Biden and count the size of the audience.... and there is much.
Compare that to the quantity of Russiagate misinformation about Trump and the size of that audience. Do not include the misinformation about prostitutes or racial discrimination. Just Russiagate.
Russiagate has been the single biggest misinformation of my lifetime. An honest discussion would discuss that.
The dust bin of history is opening at Obama's feet.
It's not exactly from my fingers but it IS in bammie's field of expertise.

Consider if this were the case in America's past and it were enacted.
Would we have ever had the Federalist Papers and their anonymous writers?
/rhetorical question
Mom, what are the Federalist Papers?
All of this and now more.

He should lead the way with an actual birth certificate.

I’d say the birth place & parents of barack hussein soetoro obama has been the biggest & most successful misinformation campaign of my lifetime.
as far as just sheer volume of misinformation, carried over time, in my lifetime, I’d keep the assassination of JFK at the top
