Carl Miller's lecture on how #deepfakes can affect political parties & Canada’s democracy

Watch it live from from Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

New technology can create fake photos and videos that look very, very real. Movies and TV use this technology to create amazing special effects, but when it gets in the wrong hands it can be used to show real people doing and saying things that they haven’t. It’s called a deepfake, and it can be especially dangerous during an election, a time when we make important choices based on what candidates say and do.

This will be one of three free public lectures hosted by the Public Policy Forum and its partners that explain how our democracy is affected by the manipulation of information and trust on digital platforms. For details on the other lectures, you can check out our Digital Democracy 101 project page. https://bit.ly/2tPAiDE
