○ 초록: The recent world-wide rise of “false information” (that may include rumor, clickbait, satire, fake news, hoax, misinformation, or disinformation) has caused significant confusion and disruption among societies. The recently-emerged phenomenon of “deepfakes” (AI-synthesized realistic artifacts) and other neural fakes could exacerbate the problem even further. In this talk, I will first present a review the state-of-the-art computational solutions from my group as well as other leading groups that attempt to combat this false information and deepfakes. I will next discuss the important implications and impacts of false information and deepfakes in diverse applications, and conclude with final thoughts, emphasizing the needs of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches to this very challenging and important problem.
