But that doesn&#8217;t keep me from being terrified of this inevitable future when fake things are indistinguishable from reality. Adobe has its VoCo technology in testing\u2014and that&#8217;s scary enough, but now University of Washington researchers have demonstrated the ability to to match speech to a generated video. In the demonstration video, they used real speech from former president Barack Obama and matched it to artificially generated video of him speaking those same words. It&#8217;s easy to see this tech being used to match <em>falsified<\/em> speech to falsified video. And while there are some aspects of UW&#8217;s artificially generated video that look fake, this is a demonstration, not a finished product. Within a few years, the ability to perfectly fake video and speech together will be available on our smartphones. The end result will be an ever-greater cynicism towards never believing anything you see. It&#8217;s inevitable, scary, and the technology is impressive as all heck. It will also be a huge test of democracy. Not only can <del>someone<\/del> anyone be made to say something they didn&#8217;t, anyone could also deny saying something they really did say, claiming to be the victim of this technology.\u00a0<em>The Atlantic<\/em> has a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/technology\/archive\/2017\/07\/what-do-you-do-when-you-cannot-believe-your-own-eyes\/533154\/\">good story<\/a> with a lot more information on the university project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":21126,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","tags":[9450,545],"class_list":["post-21125","cool-stuff-found","type-cool-stuff-found","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-adobe","tag-fake-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.4 (Yoast SEO v27.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Want to Be Terrified?
