Slide 8 - Video

Class discussion #1
What did you see that stuck out to you? 

What did it make you think about? And, What do you still wonder about after watching the video? 

Are you worried about what could happen if deepfake videos became more prominent? Why, or why not?

Should technology companies like Facebook, Google, or YouTube play a role in alerting the public about faked images or videos? 

Slide 9 - Slide

Class discussion #2
Should the government play a role?

Right now, it's easiest to make deepfake videos of famous people or public figures since the computer algorithms require a lot of existing images and footage to create a fake video. But as the technology advances, experts say, fakes could be made with far less source material (potentially with even just a few photos from public social media profiles). If that happens, how might everyday citizens be affected by this technology?

What are the potential consequences of deepfake video technology on our legal, criminal justice, or judicial systems?
