Join us for
"Deepfakes: Commodification, Consequences and Countermeasures"
A Creative Thought Forum event with
Giorgio Patrini, co-founder and CEO of Sensity
Thursday, April 8, 10:00 a.m. Mountain Time
Following the talk, SAR will host a members-only conversation with Patrini
Thursday, April 8, 11:30 a.m. Mountain Time
Join Giorgio Patrini, the co-founder and CEO of Sensity, an Amsterdam-based cybersecurity company, for an exploration of deepfake videos in this online Creative Thought Forum talk.
AI-generated audiovisual media has gathered significant attention in the news, social media platforms, security experts and governments alike. Since 2017, these realistic-seeming videos and audio have been referred to as “deepfakes.” The significance of deepfakes is explained by three elements. First, we overview capabilities and accessibility of the technology and its trend towards commodification. Second, we discuss real-world cases of weaponization and other near-term consequences. Third and finally, we consider the technological countermeasures currently being researchers and the industry.
Patrini's talk is part of this year's Creative Thought Forum series. Across the spring, SAR will host virtual programs addressing the theme "Facts and Fraud in a Digital Age."
Register for this presentation
