The four most popular moon conspiracy theories and how to prove they are wrong.
The two directors explain why they set out to (temporarily) deceive their viewers about the moon landing and how they did it.
The four most popular moon conspiracy theories and how to prove they are wrong.
The story behind the text we used for this project and why the real risks of the Apollo 11 mission meant it needed to be written.
In conjunction with Scientific American, this thirty minute documentary brings our film In Event of Moon Disaster to a group of experts on AI, digital privacy, law, and human rights to gauge their reaction on the film, and to provide context on this new technology.
Deepfake (a combination of “deep learning” and “fake”) is a technique for creating simulated images of people using artificial intelligence. By employing a machine learning method that allows computers to “learn” by example, an algorithm is trained with a large dataset – images or videos of the people who will have their faces swapped in the final deepfake – and it eventually creates a model for each of the two faces.
As deepfakes become increasingly sophisticated, will algorithms be able to detect them, and then shoot them down?
Deepfakes may be just one form of ‘fake news,’ but the ever-evolving technology poses unique threats to traditional media and vulnerable communities and to the meaning of truth.
