Welcome to yet another episode of Info Under the Radar. Let me ask you, what’s common between Russia-Ukraine war, American Presidential election, and Tom Cruise.. nope not another Hollywood movie but rather they are all victims of DeepFakes. Under the hood, DeepFakes is a technology that comes under the AI umbrella. As the name suggests, it uses Deep Learning to generate Synthetic or Fake media.
To understand it better, we invited the very people who were responsible for popularising the term in the research community Prof. Sebastian Marcel and Dr. Pavel Korshunov.
They helped us understand: What is a DeepFake and what is not a DeepFake? Does it even have some use-cases outside the research community? How are social media companies fighting with deepfakes? What is the future of the tech and what excites the researchers in the near future? and much more
Tune in to understand the technology, the myth, the innovation that DeepFakes is.

Welcome to the first episode of our three part series on Understanding Personal Identity. This is a special one for us since we are talking about a topic that everyone has thought about at some point but more often than not we are left with more questions that we initially started with.
Figuring out one’s identity is a life long process and it’s an ever evolving process. We tried to cover some really important aspects of it in this series. Prof. Theo Klimstra who is an expert in the field of personal identity joined us and helped us dive deep into various aspects of identity.
This entire series will have a lot of clips from people sharing their personal opinion and stories, so it was new format for us and we would happy to receive your comments on how did you receive it.
(00:00) Intro
(06:52) Why did Theo choose to pursue a career in the field of Personal Identity?
(13:06) Clip: A rather strange association with a language that was never learned
(26:50) Does one see the world differently when speak more than one languages?
(29:50) Clip: An incidence that made a Black/Mixed personal realize more of their racial identity
(36:00) Interesting study about a massive 93% of Black girls associating their identity with their hairs
(48:40) Personal space and Culture
(51:30) Clip: Do children understand Racial differences/identity?
(57:45) Thought experiment: If a child were to be raised in Religion, Race agnostic way, would it be better?
(60:25) If one didn’t actively choose religion/language as part of their identity but was rather endowed upon them, would it still be considered their identity?

In this short episode, we are discussing the economic cost of war. Starting from the GDP of a country and the amount of tax that goes into military funding to how much individual war equipment costs, to give you a very concrete idea of why wars are so expensive. We are talking about this in the context of the current invasion of Ukraine by Russia but the calculations we mentioned in the episode can be easily expanded to other such wars.

In the fourth episode of the second season of IUTR, we are talking about how do beliefs form and what leads to their transformation among other things from the lens of Political Beliefs. We also looked into who are politically sophisticated people (for conciseness referred to as sophisticated during the conversation) and why they tend to be more aligned with their political parties.
(07:15) - What is a belief in the first place and how do beliefs are formed?
(14:40) - Types of beliefs and how beliefs are seen as a network
(29:15) - Can we quantitatively measure the change in our beliefs?
(35:35) - What leads to change in beliefs and what does it mean to be politically “sophisticated”?
(40:45) - Why do politically sophisticated individuals tend to vote on party lines?
(43:55) - “More sophisticated someone is, less is their willingness to change their beliefs” but why?
(49:45) - Psychological reasoning behind why sophisticated people might not look to the other side of issues they believe in (i.e. people on the left not willing to understand ideas of the right and vice-versa) and why it's hard to change their beliefs?
(57:15) - What leads to drastic shifts in the religious or political beliefs of individuals who grow up in a household of certain beliefs?
(63:00) - If you are atheist or agnostic, who do you look up to when things are going bad in life.
