The Trust Deficit: Decoding AI Deepfakes and Synthetic Voices
Held 6 November 2025 @ ACMI, Melbourne
This sold-out panel brought together three international experts in media literacy, journalism and conflict reporting to discuss the possibilities and perils at the heart of AI-driven communication. Stephanie Hankey (Tactical Tech), Sam Gregory (WITNESS) and Mark Doman (ABC) reflected on topics such as deepfakes during climate disasters and voice cloning of politicians, to unpack the complexities of truth and trust when media is so easy to fake.
The panel was facilitated in partnership with the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision Making and Society (ADM+S) and Swinburne University of Technology.
