The incredible creativity of deepfakes -- and the worrying future of AI | Tom Graham | TED Tech

AI-generated media that looks and sounds exactly like the real world will soon permeate our lives. How should we prepare for it? AI developer Tom Graham discusses the extraordinary power of this rapidly advancing technology, demoing cutting-edge examples -- including real-time face swaps and voice cloning -- live from the TED stage. In conversation with head of TED Chris Anderson, Graham digs into the creative potential of this hyperreal content (often referred to as "deepfakes") as well as its risk for exploitation and the new legal rights we'll need in order to maintain control over our photorealistic AI avatars.

But this is a video channel and not an audio stream.

The potential for deepfake technology to revolutionize entertainment and education is mind-boggling.

I have thought about Artificial Intelligence and I think it would be constitutional and necessary to add one item to the US Public Law on Copyrights. Please just add a definition to the word AUTHORS to say, that Author is to be defined as Human. You must be human to copywrite something (even if created by a computer). That way any output from AI, (image, picture, song, voice, science, math) cannot be copyright , only a human can copyright the output, thus the copyright would apply to a person. Copyright law (Title 17, U.S.C.), does not define the word “author”, so just define it as Human. Just as the Constitution gives the USA NO authority to dictate to any country the type of weapons they can Have. So be it with AI. The constitution and common sense tells you that you can not govern computer programming on a world basis. Or constitutionally within the USA. We DO NOT need Government to regulate Computer Programming (AI). Big media and big government are just trying to scare people into giving up their liberty for some faux safety. AI is a computer program and has no need of an "AI Bill Of Rights". AI has No Rights. But the President of the United States already has the "Blue Print for An AI Bill of Rights".
