October 03, 2023 Ep. 249 - Deepfakes and the Epistemic Apocalypse w/Dr. Joshua Habgood-Coote
In episode 249 of the Parker's Pensées Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Joshua Habgood-Coote to discuss some of his recent techno-philosophy work on deepfakes and knowledge. Some philosophers think that deepfakes pose a unique challenge to human knowledge and thus will require a unique solution, primarily a technological solution like watermarks. Dr. Habgood-Coote argues that deepfakes pose a social problem and thus will require a social solution.
