Generative AI and Deepfake Technology Amplify Silenced Voices

What Happened

CTech reports on how generative AI and deepfake technology are being used as tools to amplify the voices of individuals who cannot safely speak out, particularly in regions affected by oppression and conflict.

While this approach gives a platform to the marginalized, it also brings concerns around deepfake misuse and ethical considerations, prompting calls for careful oversight of such technologies in both humanitarian and advocacy work.
