It also goes to elaborate on how to differentiate between the information of deep fake videos to conclude its authenticity. The source is reliable due to it being published by the United States Federal news service, going to show further how huge the issue is on a country-wide scale. In summary, it contributes to my research by exemplifying the adverse effect of deep fakes. Also, through the negative effects such as fake news, and how it can be combated in attempts to resolve the bigger issue at hand of deep fakes.

Much of the publication conveys how manipulated video results in conflict between what’s authentic or not and provides examples to back up the claim showing its reliability as a source.

3)House oversight and government reform subcommittee on information technology hearing. (2018). (). Washington: Federal Information & News Dispatch, Inc.

It also regards back to the issue of deep fakes showing its impact on society specifically in the political field. It also provides a counter-argument showing that it offers many benefits. For example, by stating changes that could be applied for the AI deep learning to be reliable yet safe. Much of the article provides textual features to enhance the credibility of the source through textual elements. Logos, for example, is one textual feature prevalent through much of the report, its use ultimately betters the reliability of the source as a whole.
