Twoja twarz pachnie fejkiem

Social media to środowisko w którym plotki (te prawdziwe i wykreowane) świetnie się roznoszą. Jeśli do tekstu czy obrazków dodamy wideo to w zasadzie mamy perfekcyjny przepis na przykucie uwagi dużej grupy osób.

Słyszałeś o deepfake? To wykorzystanie AI do łączenia obrazów i filmów. Dzięki deepfake możesz prosto i w domowych warunkach nałożyć twarz znanej gwiazdy filmowej na ciało aktorki porno. Albo zmontować film w którym znany polityk powie coś dziwnego. Albo...zapewne pojawią się setki nowych pomysłów.

Dlaczego deepfakes są tak niebezpieczne? Ponieważ raz zobaczony obraz będzie głęboko nam "siedział" w pamięci. Możemy w prosty sposób być sterowani poprzez taką "incepcję". Możemy wręcz tworzyć nową rzeczywistość opartą o naszą narrację - wszak możemy ją udowodnić podpierając się filmami. Ktoś nam zarzuci kłamstwo? To tylko jego wersja. Nasza jest prawdziwa - prawda?

Co się stanie ze społeczeństwem w którym na każdym kroku będziemy musieli podejrzewać celowe wprowadzanie w błąd? Jak podchodzić do mediów i oficjalnych informacji z kręgów rządowych? Co z dziennikarstwem obywatelskim i "gwizdkowymi"? Co z wymiarem sprawiedliwości? Jak chronić wizerunek zmarłych osób przed wykorzystaniem? Takich pytań możemy zadać dziesiątki.

Pytanie czy zdążymy znaleźć odpowiedzi zanim zaleje nas nowa fala "postprawdy"
