re: Will we be able to distinguish what is real from what is AI in the future….

Others have said it, but it doesn't take AI to fool people. People are fooled all the time - look at the lies the MSM has repeated about Trump "good people on both sides, inject bleach", etc. No AI involved, just old fashioned lying. Photoshop w/o AI has fooled many.

Selective editing of audio:

Original audio:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zimmerman: This guy looks like he's up to no good, or he's on drugs or something. It's raining and he's just walking around, looking about.

Dispatcher: OK, and this guy is he white, black, or Hispanic?

Zimmerman: He looks black.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note that he was asked if the suspect was black.


Edited audio (just cuts, no special technology, no AI):
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zimmerman: This guy looks like he's up to no good, he looks black.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

What I think we are going to need, is some sort of digital signature or something to indicate that the audio/video is not edited, it is raw from the source. Not sure that is possible.
