Speaker: Laura McClure MP
AI has evolved rapidly over the past 10 years, but our laws have struggled to keep pace. The rise of deepfake technology has enabled the creation of non-consensual intimate images which cause serious harm to victims. This talk will outline the growing risks posed regarding non-consensual intimate deepfakes and explain the intent behind the Deepfake Digital Harm and Exploitation Bill. It will explore how we can protect victims while still supporting AI in a way that strengthens rather and undermines a free and responsible society.
These seminars consider AI’s social impacts in a range of areas, and discuss how AI can best be overseen to maximise positive impacts and minimise negative ones.
They are open to anyone who is interested in attending. Presenters don’t presuppose any technical background.. if they present AI systems, they do it ‘from scratch’, in ways that should be accessible to everyone.
Discussing AI’s social impacts is a very interdisciplinary task, and speakers and participants come from many different backgrounds, in academia, government, industry and NGOs.
