Synthetic reality (deepfakes)
In this lesson, we focus on advanced digital manipulation using artificial intelligence. The use of these technologies brings many positives, but also questions. The ability to create persuasive, computer-generated synthetic media such as text, images, videos, or audio sheds new light on concepts such as trust, truth, and objectivity. We illustrate the whole issue with the topic of synthetic influencers.
