When we see a video clip of a celebrity making a statement, we don't even question whether that really happened because we see them saying it. But an element of doubt is creeping in.
The video below shows technology can convincingly place someone else's face on a movie character. Could it be used to misrepresent something more important, like a political candidate's statement? Sure.
Note: the video can't be embedded right now, maybe youtube has a problem - I'll keep trying
Technology is a tool that can be used for good or bad purpose, but it's hard to come up with a noble use of this particular technological tool.
"There's potential to lose all trust." But society must rely on a high level of trusting relationships to function.
