Notes
We decided at Solstrand 1-2 Oct to analyse deepfakes like this in the same way as we analyse generative images, focusing on the act of creation rather than the narrative content of the clip itself, which has nothing to do with machine vision.
Our discussions from Solstrand have evolved and in terms of characters we have fine-tuned our definitions and therefore I think we need to add both Tom and Bill as characters, who is being faked is important.
