PROOF-OF-WORK TASKS

8 TASKS

Start at Beginner and work up. Every task produces something real you can show: a report, a tool, a guide or a demo. Publish it on LinkedIn or GitHub as your proof of work.

Beginner

LEVEL 01

01Take the Detect Fakes challenge, record your score, and write which visual cues fooled you and which ones helped.
02Make a 'Deepfake Red Flags' guide covering faces, hands, lighting, lip-sync and audio, with annotated examples.
03Use reverse image search and keyframe extraction on 3 viral videos to find their original source.

Intermediate

LEVEL 02

01Analyse 10 images (some real, some AI-generated) with Forensically and metadata tools. Report your verdict and confidence for each, then reveal the answers.
02Research voice-cloning scams in India: collect 5 reported cases and design a family or office 'voice verification' protocol.
03Check C2PA content credentials on images from different sources, and explain what provenance can and cannot prove.

Advanced

LEVEL 03

01Write a standard operating procedure for verifying a suspicious video sent to a newsroom or company: triage, tools, escalation, and a report template.
02Build and evaluate a simple deepfake image classifier on a public dataset, with an honest limitations section on why detectors fail in the wild.
