In today’s world, artificial intelligence can be used to create what’s called “deep fakes.”
While some deep fakes are obviously erroneous, others look indisputably real – like this deep fake of President Barack Obama being impersonated by Jordan Peele using AI.

Mayorquin told us how she built her project and gave us some advice for breaking into the field of AI.
