Event outline:
The emergence of AI generated content is changing the game when it comes to building and protecting both personal and corporate reputations in the digital landscape as well as identifying genuine content. Impact can be wide ranging from sensitive issues such as image based sexual content abuse to political manipulation.
Aside from existing laws, including applicable data protection regimes, there has been a recent flurry of new laws which regulate the creation and dissemination of digital content, including the passage of the EU Digital Services Act, the UK Online Safety Act 2023 and more recently, the EU AI Act. This enhanced regulatory environment will have material effects on the regulation of online safety, particularly where social media and other types of user-generated content are concerned.
Our speakers will discuss how these developments affect the operation of deepfakes, the implications for online safety and public trust, as well as identifying future legislative and commercial developments on deepfakes.
We will discuss:
- What is a deepfake and how they work;
- Applications of deepfakes;
- Applicable Laws in UK, including EU Proposals;
- How Digital Platforms are encountering the issues posed;
- Mitigation and risk-management.
This is an essential event for lawyers and clients who work in and advise on digital media and online harms. Anyone interested in digital media including digital publishing, rights management, clearances, content acquisition and licensing, social media, digital, identity, IP and brand protection.
Join us for a two- part fireside chat on developments on the law on deepfakes with experts.
