Nina Schick's book, "Deepfakes", was discussed at length, focusing on the technology's potential for malicious use in creating disinformation and its impact on democratic societies. The book explored the rapid advancements in AI-generated media and the challenges of discerning authenticity.
Some experts who I interviewed when I was writing my book think that in as little as a decades time 90% of video content online could be synthetic.

Nina Schick's book, "Deepfakes", was discussed at length, focusing on the technology's potential for malicious use in creating disinformation and its impact on democratic societies. The book explored the rapid advancements in AI-generated media and the challenges of discerning authenticity.
Some experts who I interviewed when I was writing my book think that in as little as a decades time 90% of video content online could be synthetic.
The problem is is that we're no longer going to know what's authentic and what's synthetic, so you really lose your touch on what is real what is reality.
Fake pornography has a long history, so this is not just a Photoshopped image of a celebrity's face stuck onto a point-start body. This is a real-wide video where the celebrity is moving her face. She's got different expressions.
AI is getting better and better, so less training data is needed. I can make a nude image of your sister, your wife, your mom, and young girls from a single photo, for example, and there were over 100,000 of these images just being publicly passed around in these telegram groups.
The key point is the AI can basically be used to hijack anyone's biometrics, so it's pretty clear that it's going to leach out into other forms of malicious use with fraud, with political disinformation as a tool of intimidation.

Nina Schick's book, "Deepfakes", was discussed in detail, focusing on the technology's ability to create realistic synthetic media and its potential for malicious uses, particularly in the context of disinformation and non-consensual pornography.
One of the things that's very interesting about it is that it's very good at recreating humans and all that you need in order for AI to basically learn how to recreate a human is the right training data.
So if you have a digital footprint and who doesn't online right an image on LinkedIn on Facebook, on Instagram wherever or a piece of audio of your voice somebody can take that piece of data and get an AI to basically learn how you look and sound and make a deep fake of you saying and doing things that you never said in did.
Fake pornography has a long history so this is nothing new the idea but the creations were just unlike anything anyone had seen before this is not just a photoshopped image of a celebrity's face stuck on to a point start body this is a real-life video where the celebrity is moving her face she's got different expressions.
I can make a nude image of your sister your wife your mom from a single photo for example from Facebook and it's not only women that are being targeted now minors are being targeted as well.
the key point is it's not a tordry women's issue right because the AI can basically be used to hijack anyone's biometrics so it's pretty clear that it's going to leach out into other forms of malicious use with fraud with political disinformation as a tool of intimidation.
