Social media debate: Deepfake technology

Social media users were well aware of what deepfake technology entails. Many of them warned of the dangers such techniques could bring along.

This week it’s all about fake news. This is partially due to that thing called Brexit and because deepfake is now a thing which could affect us personally and as a society. As tech advances we must reeducate ourselves to ensure it is a blessing, not a curse.

“It’s much easier to make a convincing #deepfake today than it is to detect one.”

@hainsworthtv

Deep Fake technology powered by big data, machine learning, and text to speech will be one of the biggest political issues of the 21st Century. When a news feed can be hacked and replaced in real time, how will we ever trust anything we see again?

#Deepfake is coming: #distort #information by putting a new #label to real video or cut off a part to support your story.

@NaumannAnsaari

As #deepfake technology spreads, an ever-increasing number of actors will be able to convincingly manipulate audio and video content in a way that once was restricted to Hollywood studios or the most well-funded intelligence agencies.
