Do you think you're good at spotting fake videos, where famous people say things they've never said in real life? See how they're made in this astonishing talk and tech demo. Computer scientist Supasorn Suwajanakorn shows how, as a grad student, he used AI and 3D modeling to create photorealistic fake videos of people synced to audio. Learn more about both the ethical implications and the creative possibilities of this tech — and the steps being taken to fight against its misuse.

Super scarry.
The scope for abuse is huge. Framing utterly innocent people and having the masses swallow the fake news.
12 legged Sasquatch.. That probably happens already. This technology is a lot more developed than we are led to believe.
Well, this, and a lot of other disturbing technologies like psychological profiling. They’re quite robust already but publishing them isn’t easy from a moral standpoint.
Lei P governments are 30-40 years ahead of us. #DARPA
Sami Helen non disclosure doesn’t mean bad people aren’t going to use those tools, just that good people won’t be aware….. There is no moral dilemma.
I’ve never seen Obama in person. Perhaps he doesn’t exist. Perhaps it’s all a big lie, like in the movie Truman Show.
mhtinla he is a hologram
mhtinla l, We can only hope Trump is just a hologram that went wrong!
This talk was presented by a hologram.
I’ve had some awesome tangible teachers in my education, but some of them really should have been retired or they just weren’t meant to teach. I understand the potential negative implications, but if I had the choice I would have preferred putting on an HTC Vive and purchasing that 4.5 star rated 8th lecture for calculus 3.
this video is gonna blow up i swear
#Deepfakes
This is actually quite scary. Imagine this technology in capable pair of hands, and with mindset that wants to, say, create propaganda. There is already programs that can make speeches from persons voice samples as well. Also brings to my mind this movie “S1m0ne”, where movie is created without living star, but with a very humanlike animated woman
He never taught us how to spot them… misleading title… once again.
;-; ;-; Thanks. I was expecting a way to learn a way to tell just by looking. They didn’t mention the name of the browser extension – perhaps it has not been made available publicly.

Daniel Ostaszewski You use the software….
true to a point. He said at the end that plug ins are being developed to detect original from fake / generated video That is fine if you are using a computer, but plug ins don’t work for television, so, the chance for fake news is huge. And, think, if this can be done, how about a fake REUTERS or AP news release to go along with a fake / generated video. It’s bound to happen.
Ab Ab The fake videos are like especially good CGI; if it’s done properly and well there really _isn’t_ any way to visually see the difference. It takes a program and someone who _really_ knows what they’re looking for to spot a _potential_ fake.
Please believe the “powers” have been using this for a decade or more. For creating conflict and retaining wealth.
G. Warren you know it. our military budget could feed the world, nevermind the hood. The powers take advantage of science. So long as it serves money power respect and its will, yay science…
This is horrifying the uses of this technology could lead to extremely dangerous results as putting innocent in jail
ThatWasEpic far worse.
Yeah… positive outcome… *COUGH* deepfakes *COUGHHHH*
Dovah Demon whats not positive about that? (Humor)
This is amazing!
This makes me wonder if Obama ever actually existed at all.
I wish he didn’t… at least as President.
loveforeignaccents Was he that worse compared to other (American) presidents?
I use to trust TED…but no longer. They have been turned.
It seems unethical to manipulate a person without their consent, especially after their death. The holocaust guy is fine– he agreed for them to scan him.. but that won’t be the case for most if his work is actualized. How does he not realize this? This guy is part of the ever-growing reason to never post your face online.
Parallax3601 too late. Facial, and fingerprint recognition devices are everywhere. Smart phones, smart appliances, smart TVs, police body cams, gov. buildings, Walmarts, etc. Data has been collected on us and stored for over a decade now. Technology like this is used as a weapon. Look for yourself. Government patents prove it.
Where’s ” How to spot them” theory.?
