Abstract :

In this presentation, I share research insights on the complex societal effects of AI-generated content, with a particular emphasis on Deepfakes and their ethical implications. Drawing on empirical research, I will discuss how society perceives and interacts with AI-generated content and its technologies. Through audience participation, I aim to showcase the impact of digital literacy in relation to AI content, shedding light on our readiness to embrace these innovations. I will conclude by reviewing research on the impact of AI content on society, underscoring the critical need for ethical standards and improved digital literacy to address the challenges posed by these technologies. The primary aim of the talk is to demonstrate the significance of AI-generated content, while emphasizing the importance of its ethical use to guarantee benefits for all of society.
