A government department sought to mobilize resources and build capabilities to better combat the threat of DeepFake videos from an organizational perspective, and tackle this issue based on which a DeepFake detection mechanism could be developed.
DBA assessed the department’s current capabilities and mandates, evaluated the possible risks and threats DeepFake videos pose to this UAE city and its habitants, analyzed the current political attitudes and trends used across the globe, and identified the legal implications of these videos.
As a result, DBA produced an extensive list of recommendations and procedures to be implemented by the department, which led to a) a decrease in DeepFake videos, b) better communications in the case of high-profile videos and c) more information on DeepFake videos and disinformation as a whole.
