SUMMARY:Exploring on the influence of Deepfakes and how to shield against AI-trickery
DESCRIPTION:April 29\, 2024  |  12 – 1 PM  |  CMA 5.136 \n\nTalk summary\nThe emergence of deepfakes has ushered in a new era of deception and manipulation. From fabricated speeches to doctored videos or audios\, the proliferation of synthetic media poses a grave threat to the integrity of information ecosystems worldwide. In ‘Exploring the influence of Deepfakes and how to shield against AI-trickery‘ we will navigate through the rise of deepfakes\, examining their implications on societal trust\, political discourse\, and personal privacy. From the manipulation of video and audio content to the creation of convincing yet fabricated personas\, deepfakes challenge conventional notions of reality and authenticity. This reflection also unveils strategies and technologies aimed at fortifying defenses against AI-trickery\, empowering individuals and organizations to discern truth from fiction in an increasingly digitized world. \nSpeaker Bio\nSince 2015\, Dr. Dren Gërguri has been part of the University of Prishtina “Hasan Prishtina” in the Department of Journalism and has worked as a journalist since 2009. For a decade\, he worked with the national broadcaster in Kosovo\, Kohavision (KTV).
