Comments on: The most important issues of the Digital Age https://digitalage19.sites.grinnell.edu/response/the-most-important-issues-of-the-digital-age/ CSC 105, Spring 2019 Fri, 17 May 2019 18:33:39 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0.1 By: Zaria Kangethe https://digitalage19.sites.grinnell.edu/response/the-most-important-issues-of-the-digital-age/#comment-144 Fri, 17 May 2019 18:33:39 +0000 https://digitalage19.sites.grinnell.edu/?p=762#comment-144 To be honest, as pessimistic as it sounds, relying on eyewitness testimony in the future seems more like and inevitably than a possibility. On some level, I believe that this technology will just become increasingly accessible because amongst all possible uses there are going to be less pernicious ones. Maybe I will want to create a Deepfake video of myself just to make a fun video of me flying, and the reality of it is that if I can do that with my own face then I’m probably going to be able to do it with other people’s faces as well.

I would want a future where this technology is never used without consent, but it can be really hard to track people who use these technologies in immoral ways and who are also proficient at hiding themselves online. However, I imagine the biggest obstacle isn’t the original creator but rather all the people after them who end sharing the material.
