Although companies have created detectors to help spot #deepfakes, studies have found that biases in the data used to train these tools can lead to certain demographic groups being unfairly targeted.

A team of researchers discovered new methods that improve both the fairness and the accuracy of these detection algorithms by teaching them about human diversity
