In this excerpt of a conversation with head of TED Chris Anderson, AI developer (and Deepfake Tom Cruise co-creator) Tom Graham explores how photoreal AI-generated content — media that looks and sounds exactly like the real world — will come to permeate our lives over the next decade. He offers a proof of concept directly from the stage as they discuss the creative and educational potential of this technology along with its risk for exploitation.

    Is this a Ted short? Or… He said something you actually can do😈

    The benefits coming from deepfakes is a stronger strategy of manipulation from the media and politics

    Creative things doesn’t matter if scammers and manipulators gonna get this. Internet will stop being a source of information again because it will be 70%-80% lies. It’ll become only entertaining area and source for hysteria, of course. On TV you at least know who made it and what % of truth to expect.

    Feels like these disruptive technologies exist for the purpose of instituting dystopian “reactions” that restrict you to an even deeper grid. Manufacturing consent for mandatory digital identification.

  5. the awesomest

    April 19, 2023 at 6:06 am

    I really don’t see the point in deep fake technology. Yeah I guess I’ll be good for films but I don’t think that’s worth the harm it’s gonna cause. When did we stop making technology to make life easier?

  6. David Barker

    April 19, 2023 at 6:08 am

    We certainly should be worried.

  7. bergstrom oliver

    Trust The Ordinary Media.

  8. Šime

    > a new set of institutions to verify what is authentic media

    … we’re f*cked.

  9. DBA

    April 19, 2023 at 7:02 am

    Maybe people will finally start questioning all the things they see on internet?

  10. Claus

    April 19, 2023 at 7:41 am

    Probably, Mike Wallace (God bless him!) & John McEnroe (odd couple, right?) would’ve shouted out loud: “Come on, Wizard of Oz, you can’t be serious!”

  11. KJ

    April 19, 2023 at 8:26 am

    Yes we should be worried, we already have completely differing interpretations of reality fuelled by social media echo chambers and deepening divisions in society as a result which could be just the start.

  12. PhilipRikoZen

    April 19, 2023 at 8:37 am

    People talking like Photoshop never existed, we already been living in a world where we can’t trust our eyes, female models on magazines with legs longer then 1,50meters have been around forever, social media beauty filters, no one bothers. The problems are not the tools, it is that people don’t care to know and they follow the leader

  13. Fraser

    April 19, 2023 at 9:02 am

    Well its time to change the old saying and make it current: “Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see unless its online, then believe none of what you see”

  14. bravojr

    April 19, 2023 at 9:04 am

    No.

    Because we should easily be able to be authentic to ourselves.

  15. Ede Mehta Wardhana

    April 19, 2023 at 9:24 am

    Well Yes, But Actually No

    As a matter of fact,… Yes.

  16. ronkirk50

    April 19, 2023 at 9:30 am

    Before long you won’t be able to believe ANYTHING you see or hear unless it comes from a trusted source and even they may be fooled and pass on mis-information unawares.

    He looks deep fake irl

  18. The6thElement

    April 19, 2023 at 10:05 am

    Yes, we should be worried. Luckily, I am a skeptic.

  19. NeonVisual

    April 19, 2023 at 10:33 am

    AI can also tell if something is real or a deepfake, so there’s that.

  20. Julia Henriques

    April 19, 2023 at 10:38 am

    Yes.

  21. themandolinmaniac

    April 19, 2023 at 11:40 am

    Anything on a screen will/should be heavily discounted, but will that extend to phone calls? Is the world going to increasingly be divided between those who fall for the fakes and skeptics who trust almost nothing?

  22. Markus Müller

    April 19, 2023 at 11:55 am

    Who do you trust? Who do you support?

  23. Mountprospect1

    April 19, 2023 at 3:50 pm

    You have done nothing of any positive use …. And your justification of the deep fake situation as being out of your hands, inevitable & unstoppable only go to prove how far gone you are as a person. Literally how can you even sleep at night?

  24. M.@Rebel-Lion

    April 19, 2023 at 4:28 pm

    internet will be broken

  25. Carthage

    April 20, 2023 at 2:49 am

    So it needs to be dealt with at an industry level, with a set of laws and regulations that ensure the people producing media are making it really clear when something is AI-generated. And that the people who consume media have recourse when something fake gets through the cracks.

  26. Daito Yoshiaki

    April 20, 2023 at 3:53 am

    mmm actually I do not freak out. I’m old enough to have read the same comments back in the 90ies when Internet went viral. And same story when social networks were launched a decade after. That said, AI needs to be integrated in our societies, respecting laws and a certain level of morality.

  27. Claus

    April 20, 2023 at 7:59 am

    Ain’t AI kind of old hat? Obviously, Daniel F. Galouye (Simulacron-3 / Cinematisation: World on a Wire, The 13th Floor, Matrix Trilogy) and Cyril M. Kornbluth (The Marching Morons) were way ahead of their time! How about Huxley and Orwell? We should’ve known much better, right?!

  28. Michael Woods Mccausland

    April 20, 2023 at 9:05 am

    This only virtual media

  29. Ayten Şahin

    April 20, 2023 at 9:50 am

    Well these guys look quite legit to me, Tiktok, AGT and now Ted. Yeah, cool people/

  30. Nados Demirkol

    April 20, 2023 at 9:50 am

    I don’t see any prob with this tech is the content is appropriately labeled. If there is a problem with this tool, then what about Photoshop?

  31. kylian mbappe

    April 20, 2023 at 9:50 am

    Lips were bit weird when he talked and the voice sounds quite robotic. That said, I love what those guys do. Tom Cruise and Paris Hilton nad America’s Got Talent.

  33. XxDaRkLoRdxX

    April 20, 2023 at 9:51 am

    Hyper reality he said? It means more real than the real? How come?

  34. Murat Kaymaz

    April 20, 2023 at 9:52 am

    This new tech is both a gigantic prob and a super opportunity. New jobs will be created while old ones will disappear. People will have to adapt.

  35. Blue world

    April 20, 2023 at 11:50 am

    Wow ffs! This is amazing! Where can I try?

  36. sky flower

    April 20, 2023 at 11:50 am

    You fear the unknown. Once you’ll understand this tech, you’ll feel much better.

    • Matthew Boles

      April 20, 2023 at 12:40 pm

      the people that develop this tech are fearful.

    Wait, this is the guy behind Deep Tom Cruise?

He explores how Asia’s booming culture and economy — from K-pop to cutting-edge tech — is sparking creative solutions to global challenges and reshaping the future in unexpected ways.
