About this listen

"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

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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Essential reading re; for the Digital Revolution

Essential read / listen for anyone who wants to understand the rise in polarisation, conspiratorial thinking and a general erosion in accepted objective truth. As we enter a new era of AI generated art, music, literature, creativity and most importantly hyper realistic deep fakes, it’s really imperative that we collectively understand what’s happening… and start thinking of ways of safeguard truth in the digital age. If you thought the last US Presidential election was bad, just wait for when deep fakes go mainstream…things are going to get very surreal.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
