Detect Fakes (Deepfake Detection Study)
An online research study run by Northwestern University's Computer Science department. You read short speech texts and judge whether each came from a Democrat or a Republican, with an 'explanation hint' shown to help you decide. The study looks at how well people can tell real from fake, or trace where a statement came from.
