First Amendment protections
What do deep fakes mean for our First Amendment protections?
You were asked to consider this question while reviewing the powerpoint on the technicalities of deep-faking.
find a deep fake that someone else has created (including images of the deep fake, its creator, that creator's audience and purpose) of how we know it is a deep fake and why it was created. Do not use the Jim Carrey series that I showed in my slides.
One example of deep faking I found was a video created by artist Bill Posters which features Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg discussing his plans to acquire power and manipulate society with artificial intelligence (AI). The video combines clips of Zuckerberg’s actual interviews with various other audio sources, making it seem as if he is saying something he never said before. It then proceeds to show AI manipulating his image on screen. We know this is a deep fake because the audio and visual elements have obviously been manipulated from their original sources, meaning that what we see onscreen could not have occurred naturally.
This video was created in order to represent the dangers of AI being used for social engineering purposes. By creating this deep fake, Posters sought to draw attention to potential abuses of AI technology by powerful entities like Zuckerberg himself. In doing so, he shed light on how dangerous this kind of manipulation can be when placed into the wrong hands – particularly those who do not understand its implications or consider its ethical consequences.
