Abstract
Deep Fakes: Algorithms and Society focuses on the use of artificial intelligence technologies to produce fictitious photorealistic audiovisual clips that are indistinguishable from traditional video media.
For over a century, the indexical relationship of the photographic image, and its related media of film and video, to the scene of capture has served as a basis for truth claims. Historically, the iconicity of these images has featured a causal traceback to actual light rays in a particular time and space, which were fixed by chemical reactions or digital sensors to the resultant image. Today, photorealistic audiovisual media can be generated from deep learning networks that sever any connection to an actual event. Should society instantiate new regimes to manage this new challenge to our sense of reality and the traditional evidential capacities of the ‘mechanical image’? How do these images generate information disorder while also providing the basis for legitimate tools used in entertainment and creative industries?
Scholars and students from many backgrounds, as well as policymakers, journalists and the general reading public, will find a multidisciplinary approach to questions posed by deep fake research from Communication, International Studies, Writing and Rhetoric.

Deep fakes and Disinformation in Asia
Dymples Leong Suying
Abstract
Deepfakes have been of particular concern globally, with governments and societies worrying about the implications of deepfakes to national security. The deployment of deepfakes as part of disinformation efforts are of concern, particularly in Asia, due to its multi-ethnic and multi-religious population. This chapter will examine the usage of deepfakes toward disinformation efforts such as influence campaigns, globally and within Asia. It will also explore issues such as shallowfakes and highlight potential prescriptions to address the challenges brought about by deepfakes and disinformation.
