Machines + Media 2018: Solutions for the Dark Side of Machine-Driven Media

  • Dhruv Ghulati
Fake news, synthetic video and voices that mimic real people are attacking our shared objective reality. Traditional gatekeepers were once able to construct a set of small conversations, but open platforms now allow many voices to participate and shape a conversation, including some with malicious and often secret agendas. This panel will discuss the biggest threats to the discovery of truth, how disinformation is created and promulgated, and potential ways to fight back together.
