Deepfakery: Watch and learn

Posted by Comments off

Call me jaded, but as someone who focuses on emerging tech for their work, it is not often when I hear a session or panel that offers new insights on new tech.

But when that does happen it feels like I struck gold!

That’s way I am writing this post.

Deepfakery is a livestream series pulling in some AMAZING speakers discussing the emerging tech known as Deepfakes. What I really appreciate is that these diverse experts – and they are genuinely diverse and inclusive – are offering insights from so many different aspects, expertise and perspectives.

Go watch these!

They come out every Thursday at 9AM PT / 12PM ET. The irony is that the video quality is choppy, but the content is GOLD!

Congratulations to WITNESS’ Media Lab for putting on the series.
