I’m joined by Dr. Anna Broinowski - Senior Lecturer and Director of the Master of Film and Screen Arts at Sydney College of the Arts, University of Sydney - to unpack the rise of deepfakes and synthetic media.
We discuss the emergence of deepfake pornography in
2017, the fact that around 90% of deepfake content targets women
and girls, and the growing use of AI in propaganda. From political
manipulation to fake ads impersonating me (!), this episode
explores how deepfakes are eroding trust, and what that means for
the future of media, filmmaking and truth more broadly.
