Fake News, “you ‘aint seen nothing yet!”

As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words… so what about a video?

Search “deep fakes” and you will see where the technology is heading. Then think of this technology in the wrong hands. (Insert dictator, malicious actor etc etc) Through a round table conversation at Kvass.ai, a comment was made that “in the very near future, video will be inadmissable in a court of law because the fakes will be so good”.

Meaning experts will not be able to tell the difference between a fake video or a real one. Put another way, the best technology in the wrong hands could be very disruptive.

Think about it…

Imagine the political power in releasing a timely video to the masses that puts a political opponent in a compromising position. Imagine the power that a well funded defendant could have in producing “evidence”.

Brace yourselves, it will happen sooner than we think!
