AI Deepfakes and Practitioner Identity
A collaborative position from ACPA and ASAIMH on deepfakes, practitioner identity, and public trust
As artificial intelligence makes it increasingly easy to create convincing images, video and audio that imitate real people, practitioners need to understand both the risks and the practical steps they can take to protect themselves and the people they work with.
Key Focus Areas:
• Greater responsibility for technology platforms and AI providers
• Stronger and clearer regulatory frameworks
• Greater awareness of deepfakes and protective measures
• A "trust but verify" approach to digital safety
