Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions.
More than a decade ago the UK investigative journalist Nick Davies published Flat Earth
News, an exposé of how the mass media had abdicated its responsibility to the truth. Newsroom
pressure to publish more stories, faster than their competitors had, Davies argued, led to journalists
becoming mere “churnalists”. Shocking as Davies’ revelations seemed in 2008, they seem pretty
tame by today’s standards, writes Ben Lorica, Chief Data Scientist at O’Reilly.
We now live in a post-truth world of Fake News and “alternative facts”; where activists
don’t just seek to manipulate the news agenda with PR but now use advanced technology to fake
images and footage. A particularly troubling aspect of these “deepfake” videos is their use of
artificial intelligence to fabricate people saying or doing things with almost undetectable accuracy.
The result is that publishers risk running completely erroneous stories –as inaccurate as stating that
the world is flat –with little or any ability to check their source material and confirm whether it is
genuine. The rise of unchecked fakery has serious implications for our liberal democracy and our
ability to understand what’s truly going on in the world.
The technology to manipulate imagery has come a long way since Stalin had people
airbrushed out of history. Creating convincing yet fake digital content no longer requires advanced
skills or a well-resourced (mis)information bureau. Anyone with a degree of technical proficiency
can create content that will fool even the experts. Take the faked footage of Nancy Pelosi earlier
this year, which was doctored to make her look incoherent and was viewed two and a half million
times before Facebook took it down. This story shows how social media is giving new life to the
old aphorism that “a lie can go halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to put its
boots on”.
The propagation of lies and misinformation is immeasurably enhanced by platforms like
Twitter and Facebook that enable virality. What’s more, the incentives for creating fake content
now favour malicious actors, with clear economic and political advantages for disseminating false
footage. Put simply, the more shocking or extreme the content, the more people will share it and the
longer they will stay on the platform. Meanwhile, counterfeiters can manipulate the very tools being
developed to detect and mitigate deepfake content, just as the security industry inadvertently
supplies software that can be misused for cybercrime.
