Description

Guests: Angelyn Francis and Kevin Jiang Deepfakes are the latest manifestation of artificial intelligence-generated technology. They are false, but very lifelike, AI generated images of real people. Last month, deepfake pornographic images of Taylor Swift were viewed tens of millions of times on X, formerly known as Twitter, before being removed. The incident is raising serious concerns among experts who say the technology is being misused and often fuelled by misogyny, flooding the internet unchecked and unregulated. Angelyn Francis and Kevin Jiang, journalists in the Star's digital department, join "This Matters" to discuss and share a newsroom quiz on what’s real and what’s AI and offer some tips on how to spot an AI deepfake image.  Audio sources: CBC News This episode was produced by Saba Eitizaz and Paulo Marques with support from Angelyn Francis and Kelsey Wilson.
