AI GLOSSARY
Synthetic Media
Security & Adversarial AI
Content, including images, video, audio, and text, that has been artificially generated or manipulated using AI rather than captured from the real world. Synthetic media encompasses everything from AI-generated art and voice synthesis to deepfakes and disinformation content. As synthetic media becomes increasingly indistinguishable from genuine content, provenance tracking and authenticity verification become critical tools for maintaining trust in digital information.
