Tom Cruise deepfake videos go viral on TikTok You’d be forgiven for thinking that Tom Cruise had joined TikTok if you stumbled across a new account that surfaced last month on the platform. In three videos uploaded to @deeptomcruise, the 58-year-old can be seen practising his golf swing, falling over in a store, telling an anecdote about Mikhail Gorbachev and performing a magic trick with a coin. Only… it isn’t Tom Cruise. The channel @deeptomcruise has notched up 1.1 million likes and 380,000 followers, as well as nearly 12 million views on its three videos, as people freaked out over the uncanny replica of Tom. As well as looking exactly like the Mission: Impossible star, Deepfake Tom had his laugh and mannerisms down to a tee One comment read: ‘So you’re telling me this isn’t actually Tom Cruise’, while another person wrote: ‘I’m just gonna go with “Hey Tom, way to pull the wool over everyone’s eyes”.’ Others were more uncomfortable with the videos, with one comment reading: ‘This went from being cool to starting to scare me.’

Deepfake detection tool unveiled by Microsoft image copyrightGetty Images Microsoft has developed a tool to spot deepfakes - computer-manipulated images in which one person's likeness has been used to replace that of another. The software analyses photos and videos to give a confidence score about whether the material is likely to have been artificially created. The firm says it hopes the tech will help "combat disinformation". One expert has said it risks becoming quickly outdated because of the pace at which deepfake tech is advancing. To address this, Microsoft has also announced a separate system to help content producers add hidden code to their footage so any subsequent changes can be easily flagged. Finding face-swaps Deepfakes came to prominence in early 2018 after a developer adapted cutting-edge artificial intelligence techniques to create software that swapped one person's face for another. The process worked by feeding a computer lots of still images of one person and video footage of another. image copyrightMicrosoft
Will NFTs open up new opportunities for digital artists? Auction house Christie’s New York recently sold a digital-only artwork by the artist known as Beeple for $69m (£50m). The artwork was sold as a non-fungible-token (NFT) which uses blockchain technology to create a unique digital certificate which states who owns it. It is part of a wider trend which has seen an animated Gif sold for more than $500,000, musician Grimes selling some of her digital art for more than $6m and even trading cards turning digital-only. So could this approach help artists monetise their work? BBC Click’s Lara Lewington reports.

The algorithms that make big decisions about your life Image copyright Getty Images Thousands of students in England are angry about the controversial use of an algorithm to determine this year's GCSE and A-level results. They were unable to sit exams because of lockdown, so the algorithm used data about schools' results in previous years to determine grades. It meant about 40% of this year's A-level results came out lower than predicted, which has a huge impact on what students are able to do next. There are many examples of algorithms making big decisions about our lives, without us necessarily knowing how or when they do it. Here's a look at some of them. Social media In many ways, social-media platforms are simply giant algorithms. At their heart, they work out what you're interested in and then give you more of it - using as many data points as they can get their hands on. Every "like", watch, click is stored. And those same algorithms that know you enjoy a cute-cat video are also deployed to sell you stuff. Insurance Healthcare Policing
Quibi: Why did the video app go so wrong? image copyrightQuibi/Getty Images Quibi pulled the plug on its video-streaming service this week, capping an extraordinary year for the company. At the start of 2020, it was seen by some as the future of "snackable" smartphone entertainment. Shows were shot so they could be watched full-screen in both portrait and landscape mode, with users able to switch with a turn of their handset. And the firm spent hundreds of million of dollars of the near $2bn (£1.5bn) it had raised to create an library of exclusive short, bite-sized content. Many media companies signed up, including the BBC, which had its own news show on the platform. But somewhere along the way things went very wrong. image copyrightGetty Images I spoke to three of Quibi's content creators. They all still work in the industry, and so asked to remain anonymous. The interviews below have been edited for brevity and clarity. 'Jonathan' is a writer who worked on a daily entertainment news show image copyrightQuibi Oh, absolutely.
