Futurism, AI, and Deepfakes: Dystopia or Utopia Ahead?

For the average person, many know "deepfakes" to be videos that go viral on social media, infamously spreading misinformation. But did you know that deepfakes can also be used to create video footage of speeches from prominent historical figures that passed before their time or other more positive examples? How about all the ways that automation and AI have slowly been moving into our everyday lives, streamlining processes and easing tasks with machine learning? Futurism is more than just a 20th century Italian art movement. In 2020, futurists are looking ahead and predicting how technology, our lives, and our world will change – either for the good or bad.
