AI deep fakes - current & future impact with Henry Ajder

Last Week on Earth with GARI

Henry Ajder, a globally recognised advisor, speaker, and broadcaster working at the frontier of the generative AI and synthetic media revolution. 

AI-generated deep fakes - their current and future impact, synthetic media 

  • How to do news sourcing and verifications and break breaking news as soon as possible? especially when Twitter has become the place for breaking news
  • AI generated fakes are being used to cause stock market manipulation or to target companies to artificially inflate or attack their stock prices 
  • Ethical AI development and use - are there realistic cohesive and multistakeholder dialogues and strategies taking place? Actual well-informed legislation and regulation?
  • Which labour sectors will be most impacted and which won't?
  • We will see increasing social unrest - If people are unhappy with any innovation - people will protest
  • A lot of the jobs that are at risk are where people actually refuse to innovate and adapt. So people using AI are going to replace people who don’t. Human-guided AI will be the key, for both businesses and individuals (graphic design, artists, content journalists, education and educational content)
  • If we take a bird’s eye view of history, where are we in time? In terms of invention and our perception of our abilities and opportunities?
  • Synthetic resurrection, AI companions, romantic attachments to chatbots,
  • We’ve never been able to replicate reality before
