About this event

Over the past few decades, advancements in image manipulation and synthetic media have challenged our ability to distinguish fact from fiction. With the rise of generative AI, the stakes have never been higher. Join leading experts Hany Farid (UC Berkeley professor and co-founder of GetReal Labs) and Santiago Lyon (head of advocacy and education for the Content Authenticity Initiative at Adobe) for a timely conversation on the evolving landscape of digital forensics and AI-generated media.

This discussion will explore how forensic techniques have evolved, the challenges of detecting deepfakes, and the role of provenance technology like C2PA Content Credentials in building trust in digital content. We’ll examine the ethical, legal, and technological implications of AI-driven media, as well as what the future holds for detection and authentication in an era where seeing is no longer believing.

What we’re covering:

  • The evolution of digital forensics over the past 30 years
  • Cutting-edge detection tools and their limitations.
  • The role of Content Credentials and policy in combating mis- and disinformation
  • Ethical and legal considerations of AI-altered media
  • The future of forensic verification in an AI-driven world
