Deep Fake Changes Everything – But Would You Know?

  • by

Deep fake is going through many changes and jumps in progression. Or, in other words, you can no longer trust anything you see on a screen. Any kind of recorded film can be altered in almost every imaginable way. The quality is so good you actually would believe your eyes.

Deep fakes use powerful AI to create a realistic looking version of a real person. This can be used for both positive and negative means. The technological fakery can be directed to change legitimate video into something else.
To go hand in hand with deep fakes, tech also has the ability to mimic. Not just the way you speak either. Through machine learning your gait can also be copied, as well as your voice.

Now combine that tech with the ability to copy anyone and speak like them.
With public addresses for example, you would never know if it was the official speaking on the podium or just a facsimile of the original.

One of these days we may well be catered to, in our own homes solely, by a simulacrum of ourselves.
