to help families refinance their homes
to invest in things like high-tech
manufacturing clean energy
and the infrastructure that creates good
new jobs
you see i would never say these things
at least not in a public address
but someone else would someone by jordan
peele
[Music]
it's sort of learning to recreate that
person's
face by looking at the thousands of
images over and over and over
like a lot more research than you would
think would uh would go into
making a goofy video or something like
that truly surprising for me
um yeah i was just really surprised
i didn't do any after touching on that
video that was just
using the technology that was available
from the machine learning side
you don't even have to know what github
is you don't have to know
how to program in python none of that
matters you pay somebody 20 bucks and
they'll create the fake for you
that's a bit of a game changer
you know the everyday person who the
deep fake sex video
emerges in a google search of your name
where for that person
it becomes almost impossible to debunk
[Music]
while i don't think that's likely i also
don't think it's out of the question
and that is enough to keep me up at
night the margins are
very very thin the last national
election here in the u.s was 80 000
votes in three states
you don't have to fool tens of millions
of people
i don't think a deep fake will become a
big political issue during the course of
the campaign
i think about a well-placed rumor before
an ipo i think a lot of these things
were problems already um and so it's
unclear to me how much machine learning
really
you know adds to those problems i find
it very difficult to sort of believe
that there is something so uniquely
devastating about video
[Music]
right now what we are focusing on is
developing forensic techniques
to protect world leaders from deep face
we are particularly worried
about how the donald trump's theresa may
and angela merkel's of the world how
their likeness will be used to disrupt
elections
and cite potential violence in countries
by creating fake content
there's some fun and entertaining
interesting applications but there is a
weaponization of the technology and i
simply advocate that we as technologists
we acknowledge it and we start thinking
not after the fact but before the fact
how can we start putting some safeguards
in place
