When Truth Matters, Can Images Be Trusted?

Description:

Researchers putting words into President Obama’s mouth:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCwbJxW-ZRg

In a world where online information purveyors can distribute “fake news,” does it matter that audio, visual and audio/visual materials can be doctored or be utterly fictional?
What are the tools for determining the authenticity of the content in visual images?

Journalists and editors care.  Human rights organizations care.  Lawyers care.  Law enforcement and the military care.  

Join us to learn from experts on the tools, techniques, and technologies designed to determine authenticity in visual and audio/visual materials.
