How do you spot a deepfake image or video? Is it missing fingers, unnatural blinking or mismatched lip movements?
In this podcast episode, Emerging Tech Unpacked host Lucy Lin spoke to intelligence expert Emerald Sage about deepfake technology and her career working for a national security intelligence organisation.
From political manipulation to personal exploitation, we'll uncover the dark underbelly of this technology and ask the tough questions: How can we protect ourselves? What does this mean for the future of truth? And can deepfakes ever be a force for good?
We'll unravel the technology behind these digital doppelgangers, discuss the ethical minefield they've created, and explore both the perils and potential of this double-edged sword.
Whether you're a tech enthusiast, a concerned citizen, or just someone trying to navigate our increasingly artificial world, it's time to separate fact from fiction in the age of synthetic media.
