Technology correspondent Alex Sims joins Kathryn to talk about how different countries are going down legal routes to combat the rise in deepfakes - AI-generated images, videos and voices.
In a UK and US study this year, just one in a thousand people could spot a deepfake.
Alex explores how South Korea, the US and Denmark are all harnessing their laws to tackle deepfakes, but doing it in different ways.
And she points out, not all deepfakes are harmful and some of the laws proposed could stymie satire and free expression.
