Panel: Does Truth Still Need Defending?

Is Reality still Real? A discussion on the fragility of truth and reality in the age of deepfake videos and synthetic images.

Smith (Associate Director, National Center for Media Forensics at UC Denver).  The discussion is moderated by Malika Saada Saar (human rights activist and Senior Counsel on Civil and Human Rights at Google).
