Deepfake Deep Dive

Event Date:
4 November 2025

Time:
12:00 -13:15

Description:

Deepfake AI is used to create convincing images, audio and video hoaxes and is a portmanteau of 'deep learning' and 'fake’. It is reshaping how we create, share, and protect content and raises important questions for intellectual property law, the creative industries, and society at large. How can we balance protecting creators and performers with encouraging the development of synthetic content?

This event will highlight different perspectives from law, policy, technology, and practice, with a focus on the UK’s current approach to AI. The UK is yet to legislate in the area of deepfake AI, which leaves open several questions for the creative, cultural industries as well as society. This event will address the current gaps and provide insights from different sectors in highlighting ways in which we can tackle the growing issue of deepfakes. The session will conclude with reflections on what the future might hold for deepfakes, regulation, and AI technologies more broadly.

It is open to adults and may be of particular interest to: legal practitioners, policymakers, creative industry professionals, and anyone curious about how deepfake AI affect society.
