With the emergence of incredibly powerful machine learning technologies, such as Deepfakes and Generative Neural Networks, it has become easier to spread false information. In this article, we will briefly introduce deepfakes and generative neural networks, as well as a few ways to spot AI-generated content and protect yourself against misinformation.
Remember: Anyone Can Post Anything on the Internet
I have many relatives that just aren’t well-versed with technology. Some of these people believe nearly anything they read, or at least believe it enough to share it on social media. While that doesn’t sound so bad, it depends on what you are sharing. Recently, a relative of mine shared a post about how inhaling steam could kill the Coronavirus. She later told me she didn’t believe it fully, but it wouldn’t hurt trying. However, in my opinion sharing this information could definitely cause harm. If there are people who believed that post and felt safe to socialize as long as they inhale some steam every hour, that could lead to further spread of infection and more deaths.
With more and more free blogging sites like Medium and Tumblr emerging, it is so easy for anyone with a laptop and an internet connection to post things online. There are no laws put in place that censor what people write, including false information, whether it be on purpose or not. The only exception to that rule is hate speech or words that incite violence (freedom of expression does not allow words that encourage violence). It is all the more important now to remember that not everything on the Internet is true. Sadly, even “facts” reported by major “news” outlets are being twisted and contorted in a way to defend the political interests of the media company. Do your own research and if you feel skeptical, do more research.
