Advances in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) are fast-paced. Through "machine learning" software can manipulate TV pictures like changing mouth movements of politicians, etc., in near real-time. In this talk, the focus is on what is nowadays possible in the digital field of manipulation through AI of text, data, (moving) images and audio material. How can such manipulations be identified in investigations and which counter-strategies are conceivable?
