AI-generated media that looks and sounds exactly like the real world will soon permeate our lives. How should we prepare for it? AI developer Tom Graham discusses the extraordinary power of this rapidly advancing technology, demoing cutting-edge examples — including real-time face swaps and voice cloning — live from the TED stage. In conversation with head of TED Chris Anderson, Graham digs into the creative potential of this hyperreal content (often referred to as “deepfakes”) as well as its risk for exploitation and the new legal rights we’ll need in order to maintain control over our photorealistic AI avatars.

Besides having fun I’m not convinced that there are positive benefits to this technology. Creating loved ones to talk to will not help you deal with grief, it will just pull you away from the living world completely and consume you. Using anyone’s likeness without their explicit and informed permission is crossing a boundary. People have a right to their autonomy. It’s very different than creating a fictional character for artistic expression. This is not someone who looks like Tom Cruise or exaggerates his mannerisms. IT IS TOM CRUISE. And he has a right to say no I don’t want to participate in this Ted Talk.

Eventually there’ll be AI to detect AI, especially deepfakes. But way down here at the consumer level, I don’t want to live like that. When you don’t know who or what to trust, you just might end up trusting nothing and no one. That’s gotta suck.

We need to grasp the “Power Of Now” (to quote Eckhart Tolle). To live in the moment – not chained to the past. And definitely not in a future that doesn’t exist. Obviously there are brilliant minds behind this tech. But for all that intelligence- how stupid and ignorant to claim that “decoupling human experience from where it happened and the moment in time that it happened” will allows us to understand ourselves better. What a joke. The hubris that it took to build this tech is out of control. Worse, the cavalier way in which these companies approach the immediate and immense dangers of deep fakes is utterly absurd. They will suffer the consequences of their creations.
But sadly, we will too.

I’m concerned he never answered the question: can we copywriter our likeness or not? That’s the only concern I have. There would have to be legislation to reverse the TOS we all signed when we signed up for Facebook, Instagram, SnapChat, TikTok, Twitter, YouTube and any other place that allows us to upload photos or profile photos. 🤔 The horse has already left the barn, we are going to have to move quickly to enact some basic protections going forward.

We lived in a special short time in human history where reality could be captured & archived from everything all the time , thanks to proliferation of cameras everywhere. now that short era comes to end. We no longer can trust candid moments captured by someone’s phone, evidence from dash cam or cctv, etc.
Reality! We had a good run with you for a brief time. Sad to see it ends so soon .
Some might say it is liberating but even if that’s the case, we will have a very bumpy ride ahead of us, ithink

What is the actual benefit of this and how is the downside not 100x in magnitude? So we can create synthetic versions of ourselves. Talent can scale itself more easily. So we can make videos more easily and efficiently. Great. A more efficient way to create amusements for ourselves and others. The potential harms from this are incalculable.

Just a few things :
1. What will be the future of evidences for crime investigation? I don’t think we are supposed to adapt to such a situation where we cannot trust anything.
2. He talks so fondly about having images/avatars of your loved ones so similar to the actual person and being able to have ‘extensions’ like speaking another language or even existing after the person’s death. Am I the only one to find it tremendously violating the essence of a person being a person? It’s really creepy and it’s beyond the existential crisis that most of us have at some point during our lives and already struggle with.

I’m sorry, but when he is asked about the upsides, it all just sounds like a BS. The downsides are much more scary and they can’t be compensated by “talking to your younger you” etc.
I feel like someone should have had banned this a long time before or maybe asked the humankind – “Do you really want this? Is it ok if some people start working on this?”
Some nerds who want to be famous began something that can’t be stopped and it’s gonna change the whole world. I’m really afraid of the consequences.

Since the beginning of “accepting terms and conditions” of installing any software on a computer or using a cloud service, the vast majority of people do not read the terms and click “I accept “ almost immediately they see the chance to do so. We will give up our rights to our photos, voices and videos and we will no longer fully own this data and the big Tech companies will own these rights. We want and like free services and that’s how they will get us.

Weird and wonderful doesn’t sound so bad. Now take some time to think about all the good and bad ways this technology can and will be used: (I’m curious what you guys think)
– Swaying elections by creating fake video’s of politicians. (This can be far more effective than the Facebook/Cambridge Analytica data scandal)
– Misinformation campaigns form hostile countries.
– Embarrassing and/or pornographic video’s of every famous person.
– Blackmail, bullying, catfishing, fake dating profiles.
– Phishing. Like getting a video’s of your own daughter asking for money or a loved one appearing to have been kidnapped.
– Pretending to be the CEO of a large company in a conference call to manipulate the market.
– Not being able to trust anything you see online even from trusted people.
+ Every movie/tv show/educational video in every language in the actors own voice.
+ Making funny, cute, sexy video’s of yourself and loved ones.
+ Being able to videocall to people who don’t speak your language.
