#Deepfake #AI hits the Olympics. In this video the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation de-bunks a fake video that is circulating. As much as there may be debate about #AILiteracy, creating awareness about #disinformation is part of our job as educators and citizens now.

Really enjoying watching the Winter Olympics, but damn the Aussie-centric parochial production of Channel 9 is really trying its hardest to ruin it. Every Aussie athlete is seemingly getting a full over-produced biopic, and so much air time is wasted on commentators, just let us watch the action!
