Every time someone builds a better detector, someone else builds a better deepfake that beats it. We’re in an arms race we can’t win. I tested five commercial deepfake detection tools on the …

Human trials? Not happening anytime soon. This is the AI drug discovery paradox: the technology moves faster than the regulatory …
