Deepfakes, synthetic humans, and the future of stardom with Reface.ai cofounder Dima Shvets

<p>Do deepfakes foreshadow the fall of civilization and the end of all truth? Or are they just good fun?&nbsp;</p> <p>Or is there a third possibility: that they're the foundation of a massive new opportunity to experience what could never be real (for most of us) and a massive new opportunity (for influencers and stars) to essentially become a merger of real person and synthetic being in millions of ways in dozens of languages for billions of people ... simultaneously.</p> <p>In this episode of TechFirst with John Koetsier we chat with Dima Shvets, one of the cofounders of Reface.ai, the viral app with almost 70 million installs.</p> <p>We kick off with the app growth story. We move into the deepfake controversy. And we end with Dima's vision of the future: a merge of real and synthetic beings for brands, stars, and influencers.</p> <p>Video: https://youtu.be/WwB8iHrHPGY</p> <p>Transcript: https://johnkoetsier.com/category/tech-first/</p>
