Wybory do parlamentu europejskiego już w ten weekend, ale to wcale nie znaczy, że 10 czerwca ten tekst przestanie być aktualny. I to nawet nie dlatego, że w 2025 roku czekają nas wybory prezydenckie.

Deepfake technology uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) or advanced computing to generate convincing images, audio, or even video, that are not real.

Online scams aren't anything new, but thanks to artificial intelligence they're becoming more sophisticated and harder to detect. We've also seen a rise in disinformation and deepfakes many of them made possible, or at least more plausible, by AI. This means that venturing onto the internet is increasingly like negotiating a digital minefield. With FAIK, risk management specialist at KnowBe4 Perry Carpenter sets out to dissect what makes these threats work and the motivations behind them as well as offering some strategies to protect yourself. This is no dry technical guide though, it's all presented in a very readable style,… [Continue Reading]

Deepfakes may seem like an internet scourge, but so-called "hyperreal" masks have fooled people in real-life and have even been used in crimes. To learn more about these masks and our ability to spot them, WIRED's Matt Simon talked with researcher Rob Jenkins.

From political campaigns to brand ads, digital doppelgangers are proliferating. Here’s how to spot them

With measures to stem the spread of COVID-19 putting a chokehold on their filming capabilities, advertising agencies are enhancing old content with new tech, including deepfakes. Deepfakes typically blend one person's likeness, or parts thereof, with the image of another person. Ad agencies are so restricted in how they can generate content, they'll explore anything that can be computer-generated.

What percent of the content on the internet do you believe is true?  While there is certainly lots of reliable information online, it’s getting increasingly difficult to tell the genuine from the rumor-mill, the real from the fake news. And it may be getting harder. Why? Because of deepfakes: highly convincing, AI-powered video and audio clips that could quite literally put words in the mouth of someone you know. This is a big problem for our society. While technology companies have recently taken a stand against it and others are developing new tools to fight it, there are things you and I can do today to stand up to the problems caused by deepfakes.
