Truth in the age of AI

How do we perceive truth and authenticity in the age of AI?

From viral deep fakes to AI-altered videos designed to manipulate public opinion, digital authenticity is increasingly uncertain. Join multimedia artist Rachel Maclean and FACT’s Director Nicola Triscott as they discuss how artists are opening up new perspectives on the risks and opportunities that AI poses to our perception of what is true and what is fabricated.

Rachel Maclean has spent the last decade showcasing her groundbreaking work in galleries, museums, film festivals and on television. Working across a variety of media, including video, digital, print, sculpture, and VR, she makes complex and layered works that reference politics, fairy tales, pop culture, contemporary media, and more.

Nicola Triscott is a cultural leader, curator and researcher specialising in the intersections of art, science, technology and society. She is Director/CEO of FACT Liverpool, a major UK centre for digital and screen arts, internationally recognised for groundbreaking commissions and critically engaged exhibitions.
