3. Deepfakes

Discussion

 
! We hope that you were able to learn more about generative AI models and the possible social and ethical challenges that can arise from these models. We would now like to ask you to take some time to reflect on what you have learned, while further developing your critical thinking skills. Please justify your answers as thoroughly as possible and use the technical terminology that you became familiar with in this module.
- Technical aspects:
How do AI systems learn to generate realistic content (e.g., images)?
- Social and ethical aspects:
What social and ethical consequences can arise from this (e.g., through disinformation such as deepfakes in elections)? Who might be particularly affected?
- Risk mitigation strategies:
What are some of the available strategies for risk reduction?
- Conclusion:
From your perspective, what are the most important measures that you yourself and others should take to reduce these problems?
