The trouble with deepfakes: Beyond control?

Anita was scrolling on Twitter when she found someone had made deepfake porn of her, without her permission. But that was just the start of her problems; she found it was difficult and expensive to get the deepfakes taken down and nigh-on impossible to prevent their proliferation online. So, what guardrails can regulators and tech companies put in place to prevent the spread of deepfakes and protect those whose likeness has been stolen without their consent? Technological fixes, such as deepfake detection software and deepfake watermarking exist, but can the technology keep up with the ever-improving capacities of generative AI? Host Hannah Murphy speaks to Hany Farid, digital forensics expert at the University of California, Berkeley; Nina Schick, CEO and founder of Tamang Ventures, author and Qlik AI Council member; and Sweet Anita, Twitch streamer.

The trouble with deepfakes: Liar’s dividend

A new breed of AI generated fake pictures, videos and audio clips is spreading across the internet - content anyone with an internet connection can generate. And some of these deepfakes are now so convincing that even experts struggle to tell the difference between what’s real and what has been created using artificial intelligence. In a new series, Hannah Murphy, the FT’s tech reporter in San Francisco, examines the potential of deepfakes to cause chaos and asks how worried we should be and what’s being done to combat their proliferation. In the first of this two-part series she hears from Kimberly Ton Mai, AI researcher at University College, London; Hany Farid, digital forensics expert at the University of California, Berkeley; and Paul Carpenter, magician and hypnotist.

I love this show for its fresh insights that help me think about the bigger picture of what’s ahead of us.
This China series is not worthy of the FT

CaityC

The framing of this series — China: will it overtake the US in the tech race — is so very, very cringe. As a person who’s done tech start ups, consuktrd in tech & life sciences FDI, I find the reporter’s understanding of innovation shallow, and the “race” framing jingoistic. It’s a global, multipolar innovation market now, with various countries having systems that advantage & disadvantage them. Each country will have to figure out how to best play in the market. China has big disadvantages as well as advantages— it’s not that scary. Pffft.
Lefty tech talk but it’s ok

Worth a listen but ideologically rigid with lefty views. Everything is filtered through that lens which is unfortunate.
Informative
