Disinformation & Deep Fakes
Details
Come along to our next Tech Ethics Bristol event on “Disinformation & Deep Fakes” where we’ll explore the rapid rise of image & video-generative AI for deep fakes.
With the advancement of generative AI that can create realistic images and videos, there is a significant risk that people won't be able to trust anything they see.
You will hear from experts in this space about the impact of this rapidly developing technology.
We are using a new venue as unfortunately The Framework has closed down. Massive thanks to Immersive Labs for hosting this event!
Drinks & nibbles will be provided.
Don’t miss out!
