If you have been alarmed (or angered) by how easily “fake news” spreads through social media networks, hold on to your seat. Technological advances in managing moving images, combined with “artificial intelligence” applications through data utilization, allow for video manipulation (even in real time).
We wrote about this in the previous issue (fake2fake). The interesting development that has emerged since then is the philology regarding the risks of using deep fakes in confrontations between states! “Risks of use”; These could also be called “opportunities”: it depends, as always, on whether the lies are against us or for us… Therefore, let this matter also be assigned to the “security complex”!!! They know…
As for the rest, the goal of any state/authoritarian propaganda will remain what it always was: reality is what the boss says…
(Unless… A not simplistic “if”…)
