​ Manipulating a photo used to take skill, but now a convincing fake is just a prompt away. Science reporter Kai Kupferschmidt visited Hany Farid, a pioneer of digital forensics, to find out how he’s keeping his edge in the era of generative AI. From shadows that don’t line up to sound that doesn’t match a scene, Farid breaks down his everyday work of teasing apart what’s real and what’s fake. They discuss where they think the future is heading—and how it’s not too late to choose another path.
