More on: Deepfakes

The podcast episodes explore the growing threat of deepfakes, which are AI-generated videos, audios, and images that can convincingly manipulate or fabricate content involving real people. These episodes highlight how deepfakes can be misused for malicious purposes, such as in disinformation campaigns, cybercrime, and non-consensual exploitation.

The episodes cover a range of topics related to deepfakes, including their technical capabilities, potential impacts on elections and democracy, strategies for detection and mitigation, and the need for increased regulation, transparency, and media literacy to address this challenge. Several episodes provide concrete examples of deepfake use cases, such as in the Indian elections "Inside India's big, long, AI-filled election", the potential impact on the 2024 US presidential election "AI deepfakes are cheap, easy, and coming for the 2024 election", and the use of deepfake technology for non-consensual pornography "The Influencer Deepfake Sex Club - Blackmail & Torture of Taiwanese YouTubers".
