Whilst we are all still grappling with the idea of shallow and deep-fakes infiltrating our news and social media feeds, the technology behind these developments continues to develop at a rapid pace.
This special session takes a look at the latest developments in synthetic text, video and audio, and will show you how celebrities and talent are being generated from entirely synthetic resources.
They demonstrate some of the latest examples of artificial voices, synthetic television presenters, and artificially generated news stories. They will explore these examples, and ask;
• What happens when we can't notice the difference between a synthetic person, and a real one?
• Where will this distinction matter? When will we need to care?
• What are the dangers of these technologies?
• What are the creative opportunities of these technologies?
