“I think we might just have to say goodbye to finding out about the truth in a quick way” thank you @techreview @Melissahei for letting me share my views on deepfakes, truth, & trust in the digital world technologyreview.com/2024/04/25/109… @BKCHarvard @oiioxford @univienna
While the AI video startup Synthesia says it makes benign “synthetic media” — not “deepfakes” — @Melissahei considers whether the distinction is actually a meaningful one, and what we lose when we can no longer distinguish what is real from what is not. technologyreview.com/2024/04/25/109…
Great review of the AI-robotics space by @Melissahei... covers robotics motivations from a human-centric view, the role of AI and challenges. Also covers our work on end-to-end robot learning. technologyreview.com/2024/04/11/109…
A recommended read: this story by @Melissahei on AI-created digital clones is a great deep dive into the topic. My quick note: right now avatar creation requires a lot of effort, but the solution enabling this will become mainstream. …chnologyreview-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.techno… #ai #desing
“It feels like a bleak future where humans are consuming AI-generated content presented to them by AI-generated avatars and using AI to repackage that into more content, which will likely be scraped to generate more AI.”
“It feels like a bleak future where humans are consuming AI-generated content presented to them by AI-generated avatars and using AI to repackage that into more content, which will likely be scraped to generate more AI.”
"AI development moves at breakneck speed, and it is both exciting and daunting to consider what AI avatars will look like in just a few years" Scary piece by @Melissahei on the rise of synthetic media and what it may mean for us all technologyreview.com/2024/04/25/109…
If you read one article today, make it @Melissahei's in-depth piece about @synthesiaIO's new Expressive Avatars and the implications of a (near) future where more and more content is AI generated: technologyreview.com/2024/04/25/109… 🎥🤖
Insightful piece from the brilliant @Melissahei about synthetic media, consent, misinformation...and how they're all connected. A must read! 👇👇👇

Deepfakes are getting good. Like really good. I cloned myself for this story on Synthesia. It's soon going to be impossible to distinguish what is made by AI and what is not, and that raises some big questions about a world where we can’t tell what’s real. technologyreview.com/2024/04/25/109…
TY @Melissahei for great reporting: @techreview @chelseabfinn @LerrelPinto @svlevine @berkeley_ai technologyreview.com/2024/04/11/109… @techreview
Experienced tech journalists are doing a good job to demystify AI but "to report on technological progress while not succumbing to industry narratives always was, and remains, challenging." Great to be featured alongside @emilybell @zsk @Melissahei et al bbc.co.uk/news/business-…
👇 👇 👇 👇 👇 This. It’s all I think about. Either citizens get involved in tech policy in the 2024 elections, and 𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘥 policies to make sure that AI that is good for humanity, or are we are in deep, deep trouble. From a great conversation I had with @Melissahei…

Thanks for having me on the podcast!
On deepfake sexualization, from @Melissahei: "The tech sector has thus far been unwilling or unmotivated to make changes that would prevent such material from being created with their tools or shared on their platforms. That is why we need regulation." ❤️🔥

Hey @taylorswift13, those deepfakes were awful. Nobody deserves to have their image exploited like that. But right now, you have a rare opportunity, and momentum, to fight back against deepfake porn and help millions of women and marginalized people. technologyreview.com/2024/01/29/108…
“People with power, like yourself, can fight with money & lawyers. But low-income women, women of color, women fleeing abusive partners, women journalists, & even children are seeing their likeness stolen & pornified, w/no way to seek justice or support.” technologyreview.com/2024/01/29/108…
I am proud of my @techreview coworker @Melissahei who has been fighting against the use of AI and deep fakes to sexualize and violate women. Her open letter to @taylorswift13 was especially meaningful to me, and I hope the people in power are listening. technologyreview.com/2024/01/29/108…
Hey @taylorswift13 , you should read @Melissahei's letter (and explainer) to help you fight back against deep fakes! Important work at a crucial time 🤓

In her The Algorithm newsletter, @Melissahei makes a powerful argument for better data privacy and security protections in the age of generative AI: technologyreview.com/2024/04/30/109… These issues are affecting people today. For example, @nitashatiku reported how @olgaloiek's likeness was…

I'm highly critical of the AI Act but when @APonceETUI asked me to speak, I challenged myself with the title 'How can we use the AI Act to defend our rights?' You can watch my talk here where I call out failures but suggest possible positive approaches youtube.com/watch?v=vL8bFq…

A diverse, intersectional, and representative dataset is no good if you’re gonna build a toxic, punitive, or pseudoscientific model with it or if you can’t put a mechanism in place that prevents others from doing so

Deepfakes are getting good. Like really good. I cloned myself for this story on Synthesia. It's soon going to be impossible to distinguish what is made by AI and what is not, and that raises some big questions about a world where we can’t tell what’s real. technologyreview.com/2024/04/25/109…
@Melissahei A very interesting read. This quote: "I think we might just have to say goodbye to finding out about the truth in a quick way".
@Melissahei I’m equally worried about the world we’re already in, where a perhaps small but not insignificant parts of the populace don’t CARE what’s real.
Great piece. This is the most interesting part to me — it does seem like most of the potential harms of deepfakes go away if they’re only accessible through a trustworthy and responsible platform, as opposed to the free-for-all we’ve got today
