Deepfakes and Synthetic Media - Can you trust your eyes?

How will Deepfakes and Synthetic Media impact our lives?

What will be their influence on whether we can still trust what we see?

In this video I am exploring these questions, analysing at a technology that is as fascinating as intimidating.

I am joined by leading expert Henry Ajder, who shares his thoughts on the topic and why a nuanced approach to understanding Deepfakes is important.

Let me know your thoughts in the comment section below.

WHO I AM:

I’m Walter, a Cambridge University graduate in Politics, now working as an advisor of governments worldwide on tech, data and AI policy.

In my videos I comment on current political events and trends in technology, but most of all I am passionate about helping other interested in tech policy to succeed and make a positive impact.

I share tips on how to break into the field and the best resources for getting up to speed in AI (for non-technical people) based on my experience of trying to break into this incredibly novel and competitive field.
From time to time I also write blogs that I publish either on my website, Medium or Linkedin.

GET IN TOUCH:

If you ever want to get in touch feel free to drop me a DM on Insta, Linkedin, Twitter, Email or whatever suits you.

I hope you enjoy my videos!
