Here's a Breakdown of What Attendees Will Learn:
|
What Are Deepfakes?
Covers the basics, including the main types (face-swapping, voice-cloning, lip-syncing, face reenactment, and generative AI models) and how they differ from simpler 'cheapfakes.' A Detection Toolkit Explains why spotting deepfakes is harder than ever, provides visual and audio cues that may help with lower-quality fakes, and introduces verification tools and techniques. Use Case 1: Political Disinformation Explores real-world UK examples and provides a media literacy framework (Stop, Think, Check) for defending against deception. Use Case 2: Financial Scams Details how deepfakes supercharge common scams — including emergency family scams, investment fraud, and romance scams. Participants learn key red flags, protection strategies (including the family safe word), and a clear action plan for victims. Use Case 3: Non-Consensual Intimate Image (NCII) Abuse Covers how deepfakes aggravate NCII abuse, its prevalence in the UK, key protections under the Online Safety Act 2023, and practical steps to reduce risk. Use Case 4: Harassment & Reputational Harm Explains how deepfakes enable harassment and reputational harm, and outlines three response routes: platform reporting, police reporting, and civil action. Support & Action For each malicious use case, the workshop provides clear reporting pathways and support resources for victims. The Full Picture Also explores the positive uses of deepfakes and discusses our shared responsibility as good digital citizens. |
