Deep Fakes and the Infocalypse: What You Urgently Need To Know by Nina Schick

While forgery and deception are intrinsically linked to the human condition, the information age in which we live is increasingly moving toward what author and broadcaster Nina Schick describes as the infocalypse, a point in the not-too-distant-future when it will become impossible to tell what is real and what is fake in the media we consume.Over the last decade, Nina has cultivated her expertise in geopolitics and emerging technology. She has worked on the frontline of major global events including Brexit; the EU’s migrant crisis; election interference; and on the evolution of disinformation and information warfare. Nina has advised a group of global leaders including Joe Biden, the former Vice President of the United States, and Anders Fogh Rasmussen, the former Secretary General of NATO, on deepfakes.
