Part 8/12:
The rapid development of neural networks and generative AI tools has also blurred the line between reality and fabrication. With spectacular Deepfake technology and AI-generated videos, it's becoming increasingly difficult to discern truth from fiction. The famous example of a realistic AI-generated video of Will Smith eating spaghetti highlights how convincing synthetic media can be within a few years.
This progress has profound implications for society. The integrity of evidence, such as videos used in criminal justice, faces unprecedented threats. If AI can produce hyper-realistic but entirely fabricated footage, trust in visual proof could erode, unleashing chaos in legal, political, and social spheres.
