Dr Dominic Lees (Film, Theatre & Television)

Can you believe anything that you see online anymore? AI technology is increasingly widely used in film and television, meaning audiences must look out for fakery wherever they see or hear recorded media.

This public lecture will trace the development of ‘generative AI’ and discuss its potential cultural and social impacts as it becomes integrated into everyday life. The talk will explore the newest ways in which AI is used to generate images, video and voices, from online content to big-budget Hollywood movies. It will also discuss the disruptive nature of AI for audiences, its damaging effect on public trust, and the implications of deepfakes for democracy.

Admission free. Booking essential
