Deepfakes: Facing the Challenge of Synthetic Media | Clifford B. Anderson | TEDxVanderbiltUniversity

Deepfakes are synthetic media that realistically portray people in situations that never actually took place. By falsifying the historical record, deepfakes pose a threat to the evidentiary value of media. How can we establish the truth when the images and videos around us may be lying? Clifford B. Anderson is Associate University Librarian for Research and Digital Strategy at the Vanderbilt University Library. He has a secondary appointment as Professor of Religious Studies in the College of Arts & Science at Vanderbilt University and is affiliated faculty in the Comparative Media Analysis and Practice Joint-Ph.D. program. From 2018 to 2020, he was also an Adjunct Professor of Computer Science in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in the Vanderbilt University School of Engineering. He holds a B.A. in philosophy from Kenyon College, a M.Div. from Harvard Divinity School, a Th.M. and Ph.D. from Princeton Theological Seminary, and a M.S.L.I.S. from the Pratt Institute. Among other publications, he is the author of two recent articles on deepfakes: “A New Hermeneutics of Suspicion? The Challenge of deepfakes to Theological Epistemology” (2019) and “Empathy in an Age of Deepfakes” (2021). This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

God loves you and takes care of you for the arrival of this message to you. God exists and He is the one who controls the universe. The biggest loss that a person can lose in this life is to live and die without knowing God and His Messenger Muhammad and the Islamic religion is the last religion after the Torah and the Bible. I advise you who read this message to read The Qur’an is translated in its own language, and after that, you can decide whether you are convinced of it or not. What is your feeling after death, and you see what awaits you from God’s torment, an eternal loss of intelligence to know and read, and you have the judgment after your conviction.
