As real-time deepfakes become more sophisticated, NYU researchers including Ph.D. candidate Govind Mittal, Associate Professor Chinmay Hegde, and Professor Nasir Memonare developing video CAPTCHA-like solutions to combat the growing threat. "These systems are becoming so sophisticated to create deepfakes. We need even less data now," says Mittal. "If I have 10 pictures of me on Instagram, somebody can take that.
