Dr. Farid Featured in Wired Article

Vision science professor Hany Farid, PhD was recently featured in an article on deepfakes by Wired Magazine. Dr. Farid, known for his pioneering work in developing tools to detect manipulated media, underscores the challenges posed by deepfakes and the need for advanced detection methods.

"With significant potential to poison political discourse, Farid notes that media manipulation can be considered a more challenging problem. 'I can reset my computer or buy a new one,' he says. 'But the poisoning of the human mind is an existential threat to our democracy.'"
