The Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC) said on Tuesday, April 30, that it is expecting Google to submit the data related to a "deepfake" audio of President Marcos, as soon as possible.
"We just need a registry (from Google [provider of YouTube]), we need the logs who sent it (deepfake video) who created [the] accounts," CICC Executive Director Alexander K. Ramos said, referring to the source of the fake audio upload.
Ramos stressed that they initiated communication with Google "three days ago (April 27)," noting that the data is needed "soonest."
Additionally, Ramos underscored the agency's intention to assess the instances of people who shared and disseminated the "deepfake" audio.
"It's common on social media analytics, you look at all the links," he said on the sidelines of the “Satpack” media launch.
"And normally, you can create a story out of all of this, linking all of this, because you need somebody propagated, from an origin, you need a multiplier factor," he added in a mix of English and Filipino.
"It is part of a formula in social media analytics," Ramos explained.
On April 29, CICC Deputy Executive Director Assistant Secretary Mary Rose Magsaysay clarified that the "deepfake" audio of Marcos was the work of an individual, not a country.
"So obviously, it's a person, and not an AI (artificial intelligence). So, you don't run after a whole country," Magsaysay said in an interview in PTV's "Bagong Pilipinas."
