I recall a saying by my great-grandmother. “Believe nothing you hear and half you see.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I couldn’t really know the true meaning of this at such an early age. This was far before the Internet came into public. Now in this time of “fake news” manipulating media it comes more clear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recently, watching the series ‘The Fix’ with my wife and the term ‘Deep Fake’ came into the story line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is Deep Fake?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Deep Fake Technology is a computer-generated audio or video forgeries that falsely depict a person saying or doing things that never happened. <\/em><\/strong> Source<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The technology uses AI (Artificial Intelligence) to wrap an image over another, thereby falsifying the media. An example of this can be taking a recording of a murder, then using deep fake to apply another’s identity over the murderer identity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Information about this type of technology is relevantly new for the public. The reality is, this technology is available. How long this has been available or even used is questionable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The concern hit Congress and they have push money into a group to help identify deep fake creations.

With the use of the Internet, and the fact 1000 pictures are uploaded to Instagram per second, we can see how easy it is to acquire the images. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In the series ‘The Fix’, they needed images to push a false narrative. This is why they were excited to get newer images of their target, the public had not seen. It was easier to push the narrative.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow Does it Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
