How do you fact-check information in the era of Deepfakes and AI?

The perfection of creations generated by artificial intelligence makes it difficult to distinguish fiction from reality.

The precision of AI images has advanced to the point that even professionals (graphic designers, video-makers) are sometimes not 100% sure of their authenticity.

This also brings the possibility of more sophisticated ways to scam people.

• How do you fact-check whether information (text, image, video) is not AI fraud but reality?

• How do you perceive the fact that large companies like Meta and X have cancelled third-party fact-checking services and are using the power of the community?

In my personal opinion, fact-checkers at least have the basics/course of media literacy. The argument that they can be biased towards opinions is valid on both sides – community members can also be biased.

During journalism lessons, we had things like verifying things from at least 2 independent sources or impartiality. But today's world is starting to be more AI, and we play with new rules in the game, that's why I am asking about your approach.
