Download or read book Deepfakes written by Nina Schick and published by Twelve. This book was released on 2020-08-25 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uncover everything you need to know about "deepfakes" and what could become the biggest information and communications meltdown in world history. In a world of deepfakes, it will soon be impossible to tell what is real and what isn't. As advances in artificial intelligence, video creation, and online trolling continue, deepfakes pose not only a real threat to democracy -- they threaten to take voter manipulation to unprecedented new heights. This crisis of misinformation which we now face has since been dubbed the "Infocalypse." In DEEPFAKES, investigative journalist Nina Schick uses her expertise from working in the field to reveal shocking examples of deepfakery and explain the dangerous political consequences of the Infocalypse, both in terms of national security and what it means for public trust in politics. This all-too-timely book also unveils what this all means for us as individuals, how deepfakes will be used to intimidate and to silence, for revenge and fraud, and just how truly unprepared governments and tech companies are for what's coming.

Download or read book Media Management and Artificial Intelligence written by Alex Connock and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-11-18 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This cutting-edge textbook examines contemporary media business models in the context of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital transformation. AI has dramatically impacted media production and distribution, from recommendation engines to synthetic humans, from video-to-text tools to natural language models. "AI is really the change agent of the media industry," answered a natural language generation model when AI was ‘asked’ about the subject of this book. "It will open incredible opportunities." This book seeks to explore them. The media is examined through four sections. ‘Principles’ maps business models and the key tools of AI. ‘Platforms’ covers distribution channels in Games, Streamers, Social Networks, Broadcast and Digital Publishing. ‘Producers’ covers the engines of content-making, including Scripted, Entertainment, Factual, Content Marketing, Creators and Music. Finally, ‘Pioneers’ covers emerging sectors of Podcasting, Esports, the Metaverse and other AI-driven developments. Then in each chapter, a standard value creation model is applied, mapping a single sector through development, production, distribution and monetisation. Diverse case studies are analysed from India, Nigeria, South Korea, South Africa, France, the Netherlands, the US, the UK, Denmark and China – around creative entrepreneurship, revenue models, profit drivers, rights and emerging AI tools. Questions are provided for each case, whilst chapter summaries cement learning. Applied and technology-focused, this text offers core reading for advanced undergraduate and postgraduates studying Media Management – or the relationship between Entertainment, Media and Technology. Online resources include chapter-by-chapter PowerPoint slides and an Instructor’s Manual with further exercises and case studies.
Download or read book Beyond Ukraine written by Tim Sweijs and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-05-01 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: War in the 21st century will remain a chameleon that takes on different forms and guises. This book offers the first comprehensive update and revision of ideas about the future of war since Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine. It argues that the war has fundamentally shifted our perspective on the nature and character of future war, but also cautions against marginalizing many other parallel trends, types of war, and ways of waging them. World-renowned international experts from the War Studies field consider the impact of the war in Ukraine on the broader social phenomenon of war: they analyze visions of future war; examine the impact of technological innovation on its conduct; assess our ability to anticipate its future; and consider lessons learned for leaders, soldiers, strategists, scholars and concerned citizens. Beyond Ukraine features contributions from Azar Gat, Beatrice Heuser, Antulio Echevarria, Audrey Cronin, T.X. Hammes, Kenneth Payne, Frank Hoffman, David Betz, Jan Willem Honig, and many other pre-eminent thinkers on the past, present and future of war--including an afterword by the late Christopher Coker.
Download or read book First Platoon written by Annie Jacobsen and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2022-01-25 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful story of war in our time, of love of country, the experience of tragedy, and a platoon at the center of it all. This is a story that starts off close and goes very big. The initial part of the story might sound familiar at first: it is about a platoon of mostly nineteen-year-old boys sent to Afghanistan, and an experience that ends abruptly in catastrophe. Their part of the story folds into the next: inexorably linked to those soldiers and never comprehensively reported before is the U.S. Department of Defense’s quest to build the world’s most powerful biometrics database, with the ability to identify, monitor, catalog, and police people all over the world. First Platoon is an American saga that illuminates a transformation of society made possible by this new technology. Part war story, part legal drama, it is about identity in the age of identification. About humanity—physical bravery, trauma, PTSD, a yearning to do right and good—in the age of biometrics, which reduce people to iris scans, fingerprint scans, voice patterning, detection by odor, gait, and more. And about the power of point of view in a burgeoning surveillance state. Based on hundreds of formerly classified documents, FOIA requests, and exclusive interviews, First Platoon is an investigative exposé by a master chronicler of government secrets. First Platoon reveals a post–9/11 Pentagon whose identification machines have grown more capable than the humans who must make sense of them. A Pentagon so powerful it can cover up its own internal mistakes in pursuit of endless wars. And a people at its mercy, in its last moments before a fundamental change so complete it might be impossible to take back.

Download or read book Decoding Generative AI written by Farabi Shayor and published by IntelX Publishing. This book was released on 2024-04-16 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emergence of Generative AI has marked a significant turning point, heralding a new age of innovation and intellectual exploration. Much like a compelling narrative, this advancement in artificial intelligence has captivated the global community and ushered in an unprecedented surge of innovation. For many years, the subtle hum of AI has been interconnected into the fabric of our society. Devices such as Echo (Alexa) and Google Home, once considered avant-garde, are now seamlessly integrated into our homes and vehicles, becoming essential navigators in our daily journeys. However, this new phase of AI evolution is distinct. Capable of enhanced ability, these new generative AI systems could easily discern the intuitive needs of their end-users. With a mere command or a simple image, generative AI systems can draft comprehensive reports, write legal documents, or produce intricate visual masterpieces. Their proficiency can also be extended to routine and mundane tasks, smoothly managing administrative duties, writing correspondences, and providing invaluable support in professional settings. Although these foundation models require a vast amount of training data and billions of parameters to be effective, the outcomes are equally remarkable. Technology companies and investors, recognising the potential, embarked on an investment spree; steering a new era for the development of specialised models such as Microsoft CoPilot, Midjourney, ChatGPT, and so on. As these technology companies continue to improve their language models, each version seems to be more refined than its predecessor. Foremost among these are the Large Language Models (LLMs), emblematic of this AI renaissance. Now, with voice-activated capabilities, generative AIs have become capable of much more in the relatively short span of their existence. With the integration of voice-activated features, combined with their capabilities to speak like a human being, their potential continues to grow exponentially. They aren’t labelled as ‘chatbots’ anymore – these AI systems signify a technological paradigm shift, reshaping humanity’s understanding of technology, automation, and creative expression. However, with such shift comes the imperative need for governance and control. The unchecked expansion of AI poses unmitigated challenges. In reality, these advanced AIs have the potential to be transformative and destructive parallelly. Thus, it is necessary to establish guidelines and oversight to ensure the ethical deployment of such systems which this book focuses on. As society stands at this transformative crossroads, parallels are being drawn to the imaginative world of fiction. The concept of ‘Jarvis’ AI from the fictitious world appears provocatively close to becoming a reality. The epoch of generative AI has truly dawned, promising a future where technological prowess and human aspiration unite.

Download or read book Crafting Contemporary Documentaries and Docuseries for Global Screens written by Phoebe Hart and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2024-01-08 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the industrial and personal challenges faced by filmmakers in bringing the current worldwide craze for documentary films and series to screens small and large. Utilizing a number of case studies drawn from in-depth interviews with acclaimed documentary directors, producers, and screenwriters from around the world, Phoebe Hart offers a thematic analysis to reveal the risks and opportunities for practitioners. Hart examines these themes in the context of current scholarship to provide insight into the modes and methods of making factual screen content as she engages with the documentary form and the marking of it, acquisition of mastery and inspiration, and specific rituals and habits of practice. From the unique vantage point of being a “pracademic” – that is, being both a successful documentary filmmaker and a recognized screen researcher and teacher - Hart ultimately argues for greater support of filmmakers and pursuit of a deeper understanding of creative processes.
Download or read book Deep Fakes and the Infocalypse written by Nina Schick and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2020-08-06 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Nina Schick is alerting us to a danger from the future that is already here." - Adam Boulton, Editor at Large, Sky News "Deep Fakes and the Infocalypse is an urgent, thoughtful and thoroughly-researched book that raises uncomfortable questions about the way that information is being distorted by states and individuals... A must-read." - Greg Williams, Editor in Chief of WIRED UK "Essential reading for any one interested about the shocking way information is and will be manipulated." - Lord Edward Vaizey "Schick's Deep Fakes and the Infocalypse is a short, sharp book that hits you like a punch in the stomach." - Nick Cohen, The Observer "Deep Fakes is an uncomfortable but gripping read, probing the way in which the internet has been flooded with disinformation and dark arts propaganda." - Jim Pickard, Chief Political Correspondent, Financial Times "A searing insight into a world so many of us find difficult to understand. I was gripped from the first page." - Iain Dale, Broadcaster "With this powerful book, Nina Schick has done us all a great public service...It's your civic duty to read it." - Jamie Susskind, author of Future Politics "Gripping, alarming and morally vital." - Ian Dunt, Host of Remainiacs Podcast Deep Fakes are coming, and we are not ready. Advanced AI technology is now able to create video of people doing things they never did, in places they have never been, saying things they never said. In the hands of rogue states, terrorists, criminals or crazed individuals, they represent a disturbing new threat to democracy and personal liberty. Deep Fakes can be misused to shift public opinion, swing Presidential elections, or blackmail, coerce, and silence individuals. And when combined with the destabilising overload of disinformation that has been dubbed 'the Infocalypse', we are potentially facing a danger of world-changing proportions. Deep Fakes and the Infocalypse is International Political Technology Advisor Nina Schick's stark warning about a future we all need to understand before it's too late.
Download or read book e Services written by Alfredo M. Ronchi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-17 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores various e-Services related to health, learning, culture, media and the news, and the influences the Web and related technologies have had and continue to have in each of these areas, both on service providers and service users. It provides insights into the main technological and human issues regarding healthcare, aging population, recent challenges in the educational environment, the impact of digital technologies on culture and heritage, cultural diversity, freedom of expression, intellectual property, fake news and, last but not least, public opinion manipulation and ethical issues. Its main aim is to bridge the gap between technological solutions, their successful implementation, and the fruitful utilization of the main set of e-Services mostly delivered by private or public companies. Today, various parameters actively influence e-Services’ success or failure: cultural aspects, organisational and privacy issues, bureaucracy and workflows, infrastructure and technology in general, user habits, literacy, capacity or merely interaction design. This includes having a significant population of citizens who are willing and able to adopt and use online services; as well as developing the managerial and technical capability to implement applications that meet citizens’ needs. This book helps readers understand the mutual dependencies involved; further, a selection of success stories and failures, duly commented on, enables readers to identify the right approach to innovation in areas that offer the opportunity to reach a wide audience with minimal effort. With its balanced humanistic and technological approach, the book mainly targets public authorities, decision-makers, stakeholders, solution developers, and graduate students.
