RE:Publica OFF-Stage-Action - How synthetic media will shape the future of journalism for the better

Disinformation is nothing new in human history but artificial intelligence is pushing the boundaries of what is possible. How deepfakes are used in the future concerns everyone and especially the media industry. We believe that now is exactly the right time to talk about: how we protect democracy, and how we protect individual rights from misuse? Technology in itself is neutral. The question is how we deal with it.

Tune in to find out what we learned by following these questions:

Why do deepfakes even exist?
What do private and public actors of society have to do to mitigate the risks of deepfakes?
How will synthetic media shape the future of journalism?

Our two speakers Katerina Zafeiri (CODE University) and Sebastian May (Axel Springer SE) will discuss these questions in an one-hour talk with an additional Q&A – if you like! Moderated by Florent Comtesse (Axel Springer SE), we will take you through a journey about this important topic.
