FBI Challenged With Building Workforce Needed to Detect Deepfakes

When asked how the FBI is thinking about building the next-generation workforce, a top official within the intelligence agency said Tuesday that the FBI is challenged with finding the right talent to detect deepfakes.

“One of the things we’re challenged by … from an FBI organizational perspective – in our role and authorities to detect the threat – how can we detect deepfakes? How do you develop the capability to detect a deepfake,” FBI Section Chief of Next Generation Technology and Lawful Access Kathleen Noyes said during GDIT EMERGE in D.C. on June 4.
