Mitigating the Risks of AI DeepfakesÉdition 1

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become deeply embedded in modern life, with autonomous systems now controlling many crucial functions in healthcare, transportation, and industry. However, the incredible power of AI also enables new forms of manipulation, deception, and harm. Mitigating the Risks of AI Deepfakes explores the dark side of AI and its dangerous implications for human wellbeing.

Spanning over 250 pages, this book examines how attackers can exploit AI systems to spread misinformation, steal identities, endanger lives through faulty diagnostics, and jeopardize public safety through products like self-driving cars. The chapters also dive into the national security risks posed by deepfakes and the use of AI to create compelling fake audio/video content used for political sabotage and blackmail. They explain how deepfakes could be uniquely disruptive in conservative societies that depend on reputation and visual evidence.

While increased reliance on AI delivers efficiency and insight, unchecked development poses catastrophic risks that outweigh the benefits. By assembling a comprehensive overview of the threats we face alongside potential solutions, this book sounds an alarm regarding the dark side of progress while laying out a blueprint for mitigating dangers. The chapters synthesize cutting-edge research on fighting back against AI manipulation through innovations in machine learning, deep learning, reinforcement learning and federated learning.

Ultimately, Mitigating the Risks of AI Deepfakes serves as an essential call to action for consumers, companies, and governments to confront the hazards of AI proliferation head-on. If left unaddressed, the sinister potential of systems we depend on could endanger civil liberties and human life. We must work proactively to guard the public interest as intelligent algorithms grow more advanced. This book equips readers with the knowledge to meet that challenge.
