WAR ON REALITY
Can we still believe what we see? Deepfakes, propaganda and the end of trust in the image
A cybersecurity specialist and a lawyer working on AI regulation sit at one table, because the question of whether we can still believe what we see has no single answer. The panel joins two perspectives that usually talk separately: the technical detection of manipulation, and law that is only starting to catch up. What comes out of it is a map of what can genuinely be verified today and what is now only a matter of trust.
- The state's cyber institute and an AI regulator at one table
- How a deepfake is made, how fast it travels and who is supposed to stop it
- What is left of a photograph as evidence
