It's Taylor Swift Fortnight at CAIDE
Experts at the Centre for AI and Digital Ethics weigh in on what Taylor Swift can tell us about authenticity, connection and legal redress in an era of AI-generated content.
As Swiftposium 2024 approaches and debate around deepfakes heats up, discussions about Taylor Swift are becoming commonplace in the CAIDE offices.
Today, 3 articles by CAIDE researchers are featured in Pursuit's series on Swift:
- ‘Picture to burn’: The law probably won’t protect Taylor (or other women) from deepfakes by CAIDE director Jeannie Marie Paterson.
- ‘Anti-hero’: A philosophical take on Taylor’s existential authenticity by Marc Cheong.
- ‘Blank Space’: What if AI wrote the songs? by PhD candidates Xanthe Lowe-Brown, Shilpa Singh Jaswant and Ben Loveridge along with CAIDE staff members Michael Wildenauer and Holly Jones.
Marc, Xanthe, Shilpa and Holly will be presenting at Swiftposium next week. Last week, Jeannie Marie Paterson spoke on ABC news about how articifial intelligence has faciliated the recent boom of pornographic and offensive ‘deep-fake’ images of Taylor Swift, and Shaanan Cohney was interviewed about the ethics of using AI-generated images.
The breadth of Swift-related topics explored this fortnight highlight's the cross-disciplinary nature of CAIDE's research.
