Deepfakes + Deception

Are you prepared to defend your company or organization against AI deepfakes? Join us in DC on Oct 3 for a half-day workshop to equip you with the tools you need to manage risk and reputation.

The risk of Artificial Intelligence (AI) election disinformation aimed at sowing confusion and fooling voters is escalating exponentially. This technology is not only providing nefarious actors with easy ways to chip away at democracy, but with tools to sabotage economies, businesses, and brands.

In partnership with GW's Graduate School of Political Management, Miles Taylor and other experts will provide you with actionable insights and practical guidance on how organizations can mitigate these threats. Whether you work at a Fortune 500 company, on Main Street, a trade association, or in the civil society sphere, we must all be prepared for the impacts of artificial intelligence — both good and bad.
