Ethics of the Technology of Deepfakes

Deepfakes videos, audios, images are truly fake but appear real. They are produced by generative AI using machine learning and deep learning techniques. It involves three steps: extraction, training and creation. Deepfakes require to work huge data sets. This data has to be extracted. It is extracted from the wild in the web. Machine learning using neural network then...

Coming World of Deepfakes

Deepfakes are synthetic media created by machine learning. It uses machine learning algorithms. In 2017 a reddit user called deepfakes posted a pornografic video using a swapping technology where he replaced the original face in the video with a celebrity . Till date deepfake technology is said to be used more in pornography than any other thing. But that...

Ethics and Deep Synthesis Technology

Chat GPT is a generative model AI. It uses machine learning to give its users friendly intelligent responses. It has been growing rapidly and has offered a new improved version that we call Chat GPT-4. From this point, It can only improve. There is no question about its improve services to humanity. The question is can we still continue...

The New Classroom of Posthumanities

Education as a practice of freedom requires us not just to dismantle the teacher/student hierarchy but also dethrone anthropocentrism and embrace and develop posthumanities in place of human sciences and natural sciences of today. The arrival of new technologies like Chat GPT-4 has certainly challenged the teacher/student hierarchy as well as the consumerist modelled classroom. But sill these developments...

Digitisation and Homodigitalis

We seem to be heading into a society where respect is dying. Respect literally means to look back. Respect presupposes a distanced look. On the wings of social media, we are fast emerging into a voyeuristic society. Facebook, Instagram and the like are fast blurring the distance between what was once public and private.
