How do you spot a deepfake? Ask UC Berkeley digital forensics expert Hany Farid. AI technology is now widely accessible, making it easier than ever to create convincing false images, audio and video — and far more difficult to trust what we see online. Farid, a professor at the UC Berkeley School of Information, explains that human perception is no longer a reliable defense, as his research shows people are only slightly better than chance at identifying AI-generated content. In this podcast, he discusses the rapidly accelerating landscape of generative AI and the unique threat it poses to our collective understanding of the world. 🔗 Full episode linked in bio: https://bit.ly/4cPTq9J Video description: An educational montage featuring a series of videos, images and analyses of AI-generated media.
