Deep Fakes [ https://sunnyvale.libcal.com/event/13482824 ]
IN-PERSON: Deep Fakes and How to Spot Them

*Saturday, Jan. 11, 3:30 to 4:30 p.m.*

In today’s AI-driven world, the line between what's real and what's not is getting increasingly blurred, and this problem is being exacerbated by a new technology known as "deep fakes." These are highly realistic, AI-generated images, videos, and audio that can mimic real people and are often indistinguishable from reality. But what exactly are deep fakes? How do they work, and what are the implications for our privacy, media, and trust in the information we consume?

 

This presentation will provide a clear, accessible introduction to the basics of deep fakes, explaining how they are created using AI and machine learning. We will explore the potential dangers they pose, from spreading disinformation to invading personal privacy, and discuss how attendees can protect themselves to ensure their safety and security online. Additionally, attendees will learn how to identify deep fakes through practical tips and examples, and we'll discuss the efforts being made to combat this growing problem.

 

Registration is not required.
