Explore deepfake, AI-generated media that mimic faces, voices, and more. Learn how they’re made, their creative and educational uses, key risks, and tools to detect and evaluate manipulated content.
Deepfakes are no longer science fiction—they are part of our daily reality. From viral internet videos to political campaigns and even creative art, this powerful technology uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to convincingly swap faces, mimic voices, and generate realistic synthetic media. While deepfakes can be fun and innovative, they also raise important concerns about truth, trust, and ethics in a world where “seeing is believing” is no longer guaranteed.
This talk will introduce the basics of how deepfakes are created, showcase real-world examples, and explore their positive uses in education, film, and accessibility. We will also examine the risks, including misinformation, identity theft, and privacy violations, and share practical tools to help the public recognize and critically evaluate manipulated media.
By the end, attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of what deepfakes are, why they matter, and how each of us can stay informed and safe in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
