"This month marks exactly three years since ChatGPT was launched, and in that time, AI tools have grown increasingly capable. The result is a reality in which synthetic media is increasingly realistic and prevalent, eroding human trust. While this creates a ton of problems, it is also an opportunity for humans to shine."
"Augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR), an area Papagiannis has been studying for decades, initially blurred the lines between reality and fiction. However, AI is paving the way for a new type of synthetic reality in which it becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish what is real and what is not."
""How [these technologies] augment rather than replace you, how do we coexist? Trust is central to that," said Papagiannis."
"The beginning of the keynote featured a game called "Is it real or AI?" in which Papagiannis showed the crowd images and videos and had them guess whether they thought they were real or not. The audience, despite being comprised of tech professionals, got the responses wrong a majority of the time."
Three years after ChatGPT's launch, AI tools have become markedly more capable. Synthetic media has grown more realistic and widespread, eroding human trust. Augmented and virtual reality previously blurred reality and fiction, and AI now enables a new synthetic reality that is increasingly difficult to distinguish from actual reality. Even technology professionals often misidentify AI-generated images and videos. Frontier technologies are augmenting human capabilities and reshaping the workforce. Trust becomes central to coexistence with augmentative AI, and humans must preserve self-trust to navigate the evolving synthetic landscape.
