This talk contains deepfakes – your life may depend on whether you can tell

Welcome to a world where seeing is no longer believing! New AI technology can create videos of anyone saying or doing anything – even experts struggle to tell fake from real. As deepfakes spread, your ability to spot them will become one of the most valuable skills in our digital world. I’ll show you how the technology works, share examples that will make you question everything you watch online, and give you practical ways to protect yourself and your organisation.
