It will
soon be impossible to tell what is real and what is fake.
Recent
advances in AI mean that by scanning images of a person (for example using
Facebook), a powerful machine learning system can create new video images and
place them in scenarios and situations which never actually happened. When
combined with powerful voice AI, the results are utterly convincing.
So-called
'Deep Fakes' are not only a real threat for democracy but they take the
manipulation of voters to new levels. They will also affect ordinary people.
This crisis of misinformation we are facing has been dubbed the 'Infocalypse'.
Using her
expertise from working in the field, Nina Schick reveals shocking examples of
Deep Fakery and explains the dangerous political consequences of the
Infocalypse, both in terms of national security and what it means for public
trust in politics. She also unveils what it means for us as individuals, how
Deep Fakes will be used to intimidate and to silence, for revenge and fraud,
and how unprepared governments and tech companies are.
As a
political advisor to select technology firms, Schick tells us what we need to
do to prepare and protect ourselves. Too often we build the cool technology and
ignore what bad guys can do with it before we start playing catch-up. But when
it comes to Deep Fakes, we urgently need to be on the front foot.
