A journalist receives an anonymous tip with a photo of a politician in a compromising situation. Before publishing, the journalist wants to verify authenticity. Which forensic technique is most appropriate for initial triage?

Check the image's EXIF data for the camera model and GPS coordinates.

Examine the image for inconsistencies in lighting direction, reflections in the eyes, and skin texture using photo-editing software.

Run a reverse image search to see if the photo appears elsewhere on the internet.

Use a deep learning classifier trained on real and fake faces to get a probability score of authenticity.

Which regulatory consideration is most directly relevant to the creation and distribution of deepfakes?

Data protection regulations such as GDPR

A legislative body is drafting a law to address deepfake misuse. They want to deter malicious use while not stifling legitimate applications like satire and artistic expression. Which provision best achieves this balance?

Require clear labeling of synthetic media that is likely to deceive a reasonable person, with penalties for non-compliance.

Criminalize the creation of any deepfake, with no exceptions.

Create a civil cause of action for any person depicted in a deepfake, regardless of context.

Impose a blanket ban on all synthetic media that depicts real people without their consent.
