> Abstract
> Harmful lies are nothing new. But the ability to distort reality has taken an exponential leap forward with “deep 
> fake” technology. This capability makes it possible to create audio and video of real people saying and doing things 
> they never said or did. Machine learning techniques are escalating the technology’s sophistication, making deep fakes 
> ever more realistic and increasingly resistant to detection. Deep-fake technology has characteristics that enable 
> rapid and widespread diffusion, putting it into the hands of both sophisticated and unsophisticated actors. While 
> deep-fake technology will bring with it certain benefits, it also will introduce many harms. The marketplace of ideas 
> already suffers from truth decay as our networked information environment interacts in toxic ways with our cognitive 
> biases. Deep fakes will exacerbate this problem significantly. Individuals and businesses will face novel forms of 
> exploitation, intimidation, and personal sabotage. The risks to our democracy and to national security are profound 
> as well. Our aim is to provide the first in-depth assessment of the causes and consequences of this disruptive 
> technological change, and to explore the existing and potential tools for responding to it. We survey a broad array 
> of responses, including: the role of technological solutions; criminal penalties, civil liability, and regulatory 
> action; military and covert-action responses; economic sanctions; and market developments. We cover the waterfront 
> from immunities to immutable authentication trails, offering recommendations to improve law and policy and 
> anticipating the pitfalls embedded in various solutions.
