Hosts Josh McDonald and Chris Lloyd-Jones - with special guest Fergus Kidd - guide you through real examples of deepfakes, showcasing the state-of-the-art tools that make them possible. We also take a look back at the evolution of deepfakes, the implications for security and misinformation, exploring how far we've come and the challenges that lie ahead. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on the future of AI-generated content and the ongoing battle against misinformation, utilising inoculation against misinformation, as well as content provenance. Key Takeaways: Shallow fakes are easier to create than deepfakes. Real-time AI avatars can mimic human gestures and speech.
