S. 2065 would require the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to submit five annual
reports to the Congress on digital content forgeries, also known as deepfakes. Such
forgeries manipulate digital content, such as videos, with the intent to mislead the viewer.
The bill would require DHS to assess the use of digital content forgeries by foreign entities
and evaluate available methods of detecting and mitigating such threats.

On the basis of information from DHS and considering information about similar reporting
requirements, CBO estimates that enacting S. 2065 would cost less than $500,000 over the
2019-2024 period. Such spending would be subject to availability of appropriated funds.

The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Aldo Prosperi. The estimate was reviewed by Leo
Lex, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
