A lot of people have concerns about #deepfakes, but these are just one part of a huge expansion in synthetic media. Through its @Percep_Incep Project, Brainbox has spent over 8 months conducting research into the many aspects of a profound and ongoing technological change

[Brainbox Institute @BrainboxLtd]

The Project has been supported by the @NZLawFoundation and the Centre for Law and Policy in Emerging Technologies @otago. Whether you are creator, consumer, or citizen, its contents are relevant to you. We look forward to advancing the understanding in this space.

These reports are the result of countless hours of consultation with researchers, government agencies and industry leaders, as well as extensive review of legal and technical literatures. It represents the most significant effort so far to explore and scope this emerging area.

[Brainbox Institute @BrainboxLtd]

Our reports will be out in April and aim to provide the most detailed, cohesive and wide-ranging insights yet. They look at synthetic media as an information phenomenon and a growing frontier for law and society, not only "deepfakes", but everything from #VR to "virtual humans".

We have been tracing and measuring the phenomenon of AI-aided image/video synthesis and its societal impact throughout 2018, with an outlook to the new year. Here @Deeptracelabs report.

A startup to create AR contact lenses instead of glasses, that’s what they are aiming for. It will take some time but every year the glasses get smaller and smaller…

"We at The Wall Street Journal are taking this threat seriously and have launched an internal deepfakes task force..."

[Perception Inception Project @Percep_Incep]

Fascinating. We'd love to talk!

[Ben Reid🧠📈🌌 @ben_r]

Thanks @matt_adapt for choosing to go down this rabbit hole... :-) You should definitely talk with @Percep_Incep re "Healthy News" labeling. Good to be having these discussions...

The @Acosta video saga speaks to wider issues arising from rapid developments in the creation, dissemination and consumption of audio-visual information. We made public comment here.

Best GAN samples ever yet? Very impressive ICLR submission! BigGAN improves Inception Scores by >100.

Today @jacindaardern used Facebook Live to talk about the #NewZealand refugee quota. It's important politicians can connect with voters. Audiovisual information like this is one example. How will things #technology like #DeepFakes effect that?

All reputable news organizations should use public key cryptographic signatures to make their photos and videos unalterable

NZ is a small trading nation - any exemplars for us to follow? #AIFNZSummit18 @terahlyons Educating policy makers is fundamental. Smarter policies make NZ competitive. We can be an innovative policy ecosystem.

"AI tools could be used by bad actors, for example how will deepfake technologies used in propaganda affect institutions such as courts?" @terahlyons #AIFNZSummit18 🤔

[Ben Reid🧠📈🌌 @ben_r]

Stoked to have @terahlyons Exec Director of @PartnershipAI to beam in and keynote today's @AIForumNZ #AIFNZSummit18
