The pace of advancement in AI has never been higher. Recent steps forward in image and video generation have the power for both good and bad. Fakes used to be an incredible amount of effort, and required high levels of skill but are now easy enough for anyone with a computer to create.

I’ll show you how these fakes can be created and what hope we have for distinguishing truth from fiction in our digital future.

• A healthy cynicisim of pictures, video and audio presented by any form media!
