Modern journalists face a new nightmare: distinguishing truth from high-quality AI forgeries. Traditional fact-checking tools are insufficient against generative video, audio, and image models.
AI itself might become the only solution — using neural networks to detect subtle inconsistencies invisible to the human eye. Yet that creates a paradox: only machines can tell us what’s real in a world filled with machine-generated illusions.
This transformation could redefine journalism. In the future, every image or video published might need a digital authenticity certificate, verified not by human eyes, but by AI auditors.
