Interesting commercial application would be for translated video, such as movies or TV shows, in order to have proper lipsynch.
Heck, translation itself will be automated, and the translated voice will be generated based on the original, which will likely be generated and modulated anyway according to a director's desires.

Even if you legally mandate that the software makes the videos identifiable as fake you're not going to be able to enforce it on a global scale forever. Eventually someone somewhere will develop their own tech outside of the law if they have a big enough incentive to do so.

Then we'll have to build AI's to expose fake videos.
Actually, something similar is already being done in GAN image generation models, where one agent tries to guess which images are real and which have been generated by another AI agent in a sort of endless tug of war.
Wasn't the worst use of the tech. The worst was them pinning the police massacre on him because he didn't want to go through with it, creating fake footage of him going on a rampage.
Yup.. Although I guess that having multicamera setups for official videos and interviews 'n stuff would be very hard to recreate digitally, especially with 'noise' (crowds, other people, etc) in the background. But we will probably see the age that video will have to proof it's authenticity.
Yup, that's scary.
That's REALLY hard to tell that it's not real. The only way I could tell is during pauses in his speech - the model has a problem with those micro-movements when not saying anything. Otherwise it's pretty on point. Had I not known about this technology, I'd had thought I was simply watching a video of Obama.

Edited the OP to add a video that goes in more detail. At the time stamp below they actually make Obama say the words of an impersonator (with the guys voice, not his own):

People will just claim the verification AI results are fake if they don't want to believe them.

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
It's one of the reasons we need aggressive laws against propaganda and fake news, like some European countries have or are looking into. People are afraid of that, too, of course, in that it will be used against the left when they're drafted. So, it's a lose-lose, except it's not really since law can be drafted in ways to make it less exploitable, but you know, 'mah free speech.'
Circa 2016-?? will be known as the "fuck it" epoch.

They'll be able to talk to "you" long after you died.
So black mirror was on to something eh.

In a close up it's pretty obvious that it's fake.
However, treated as security camera footage or degraded in some other ways it would probably be hard to prove one way or another.

CGI talking heads were supposed to look like Max Headroom.

Feels like a BioWare Obama model.

My first thought as well. CNN is slathering to use this to decredit our president.
Thankfully Trump will be hard to fake.
It looks fake for now, but it will learn very quickly to do it better.
I wouldn't go that far, but I think it's a little overblown how super realistic it actually looks.

Russians will use this in the next election to destroy the US's democracy entirely by spreading fake news and these fake videos of the whoever the dem. nominee will be.
I guess I'm one of those that's easily fooled. Outside of when they were paring the model with the dialog of the Harvey interview, it looks pretty legit.
