Abstract/Executive Summary

With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence and the increasing spread of manipulated media that can be misused, identifying deepfakes has become a major concern as manipulated content grows more realistic, highlighting the importance of distinguishing real from manipulated media. The study examines the differences in the deepfake detection ability across the four different age groups: Generation Z, Millennials, Generation X, and Baby Boomers who live in Pasay City. The study aims to determine which age groups exhibit the highest and lowest accuracy in identifying deepfake content. The study will use a causal-comparative research design. The participants were selected through purposive sampling, and they were asked to complete an online test consisting of videos, in which each item included a real and a manipulated video. The research instrument was researcher-made but adapted from existing studies that addressed deepfake detection. The data were collected through an online test and analyzed using statistical methods, specifically ANOVA, to compare results across age groups. The findings revealed a significant difference in detection ability across age groups, with younger participants achieving much higher efficiency in identifying deepfake content than older groups. These results show that familiarity with digital technology affects an individual's ability to detect manipulated media. The study concludes that improving digital literacy across all age groups is essential to ensure we can confidently handle deepfakes and misinformation.
