W309

This panel explores the long history of manipulation in media, arguing that the techniques we associate with cutting-edge AI today have deep roots in the past. From the earliest days of photography and documentary film to modern deepfakes and Generative AI (GAI) content, media creators have continuously pushed the boundaries of reality, reshaping our perceptions of truth through visual and textual means. The panel will introduce a series of diverse case studies to connect past, present, and future, illustrating how unique a threat AI may be – technology that is not a tool but an agent of “truth.”
