Truth in times of Fakeness - Are we ready to accept the full potential of deepfakes?

With the entering of DeepFakes in our lives, the question of what is real and what is fake arises. The lines expertwill be blurred as to what the public can perceive as fake and real, which can incite the propagation of fake news by those with malicious intentions or malign someone's image.

In this talk, Sezer will provide an overview of the rapidly evolving DeepFake technology and their vulnerabilities to spot them. In addition, he will demonstrate how easy it is to use such technology with live demos and show how DeepFake is already changing life paradigms to individuals as well as our whole society.
