How do deepfakes work?

This story highlights how easily video can be manipulated. Deepfakes use artificial intelligence to create or alter video, audio, or images, making it appear as if someone said or did something they didn't. Even simple editing, like cutting out parts of a video, can create a false narrative and mislead viewers, as seen with the King Charles footage.
