What Do We Do About Deepfakes?

What Do We Do About Deepfakes?

The rampant proliferation of deepfakes that are looking more believable these days has led A Bit of Culture's tech guru Matt Armitage to wonder what else we can do to combat them. Sharing his thoughts on the topic are Kam Raslan and Dhanya Nair. Before we get to talking about deepfakes, Kam shares his thoughts on how technology, once only accessible by the elites, is now accessible for everyone. Is this true though? The trio also discuss Dhanya’s topic - the return of old school musical acts and whether it’s a sincere attempt to relive the nostalgia of good, glorious days with loyal fans that are now older, but with more spending power. Three contemplative topics that will entertain listeners!
