why would you even put this thing out
there when you know what a huge
percentage of the world is gonna do with
that I think the most likely impactful
use of deep aches is to be used to
harass individuals deep fake videos
simulate real people in fake situations
and are growing it's an alarming rate we
need to be more vigilant with what we
trust from the internet the vast
majority of these videos are female
celebrities having that likeness swapped
into sexually explicit videos without
their knowledge or consent but how far
away are we from this technology being
easily accessible to the general public
what are we okay so right so if I use
smile you can see that the mold is
actually moving with it and as you can
see it's calculating the whole thing in
real time right so this is basically Kim
jong-un's face overlaid onto mine Wow
but but you're talking my facial
expressions so I can you know look into
the camera and you know smile this is an
extreme form of the fake because first
of all it's real-time yeah and the
second thing is that I just need a
single picture of that person do you see
it getting to a stage in the next couple
of years in the next six months where I
could have an app and create you know
this new face already in the hands of
the public
maybe not everyone can create whatever
they want I think this is much harder
but I think it will just improve
significantly so that there will be
examples of videos that will not be
detectable the Hollywood actress Bella
Thorne is one of the most deep faked
women in the world
one video of her crying over the death
of her father has been edited into
pornography and then I'm like saying
like something something but I miss him
obviously my father's dead and then they
put that together with a girl
masturbating in this videos going around
and everyone really is thinking that it
is actually me earlier this year a
hacker threatened to publish topless
photos of Bella her response was to
release the nude images herself but she
worries that deep fake may be used to
blackmail ordinary people in the future
I don't know how we regulate apps and
things like that but because it's not
gonna just be your favorite celebrity or
your favorite this person or this person
that you want to put in this app because
you can do it to your best friend in
school if you decide you hate them so
much you can send it around to this
person you can do it to a famous
politician of this at that
[Music]
safeguarding people against the
pressures of growing up online has
become a point of advocacy for bella
thorne
it's also an increasing worry and
priority for people in the tech world
what's happened over the last couple of
years is the technological development
that's been driven by video games the
capability to create deep fake videos
and images like deep nudes is totally
within the capability of somebody who
just buys a reasonable gaming PC how
much of a car is I think it's actually a
really big priority the executives that
these platforms have realized that the
people who have been saying our tools
are being used for harm are starting to
win out that they were right and that
there needs to be more investment this
is going to be another field where
people are going to specialize and spend
years of their career trying to figure
out how to stop with online abuse and
creasing and a rise in digital
misinformation
developers say deep fakes will only
become more prevalent more surface
and even harder to detect
