Some say that the near-future capability of AI to generate realistic fake images and recordings will upend the worlds of news and propaganda
-
My contrarian opinion: it won't. What matters isn't the fakes you can produce, it is mostly the possibility that any media could be fake
and that ship has already sailed. We already have sufficient media editing capabilities to cast doubt on any picture/video, no AI required

The purpose of propaganda isn't so much to make you believe lies as it is to make you doubt everything, in particular any inconvenient truth

In the future, your visual system will be digital & vulnerable to hacking; you will have to believe your Leader instead of your lying iEyes

We are working on how to detect this in the VIPER Lab as part of DARPA's Medifor program http://www.darpa.mil/program/media-forensics … Also workshop on CVPR

Most propaganda items can be debunked with minimal effort. It doesn't make them any less effective. Detection should be used for prevention

I recall a photo from Iran exaggerating their missile capabilities. It was quickly debunked. But trust in experts is quickly eroding today!

Important issue is abt lowering pt of entry to doctoring content. Tools exist now, but to create believable sound/img/vid requires skill.

Once/if the ability to doctor content indistinguishable from genuine, becomes avail to all, the landscape of news will change.
