The high rate of deepfake detection failure reflects the growing sophistication of synthetic media generation and the challenges traditional media literacy approaches face with AI-generated content. Deepfake technology represents a convergence of cybersecurity and information security threats that can undermine trust in digital communications and evidence. The survey results highlight the urgent need for updated digital literacy programs that include specific training on identifying AI-generated content and understanding its implications. Singapore's measurement of deepfake detection capabilities provides valuable baseline data for developing targeted awareness and education programs. The findings suggest that current approaches to synthetic media detection may be inadequate for protecting against sophisticated disinformation campaigns.
