AI deepfake videos to make up '90% of online content' in just five years

preview

AI-created deepfake videos could spell the end of truth with dictators able to dupe entire population into believing whatever they want them to believe, a political expert claimsVideo UnavailableWe are entering an age where we can no longer believe our own eyes, a political commentator has warned. Nina Schick's new book Deepfakes: The Coming Infocalypse predicts the rise of sophisticated -driven fake news will completely derail democracy. She said: "We are increasingly facing a future where media and content production is going to be made by AI." “Some experts who I interviewed for my book said that within five to seven years’ time 90% of video content online is going to be synthetic. She explained: “The ability of AI to generate actual fake synthetic media is something that’s only been around for about two and a half years and can be traced back to the revolution in deep learning over the last five years.”Read MoreRelated ArticlesRead MoreRelated ArticlesShe told : “This is something that’s really, really cutting edge, really new, essentially a fake piece of media made by AI. “We are increasingly facing a future where media and content production is going to be made by AI.
