In this talk, Dr. Jennifer Williams explores the intersection of Trusted Research principles and the growing threat of audio deepfakes, examining how synthetic media challenges institutional integrity and societal trust. Drawing on world-leading research in audio forensics and AI-generated speech detection, it addresses the responsibilities institutions bear in both advancing and safeguarding against these technologies.
The discussion highlights practical frameworks for researchers navigating dual-use concerns while contributing to robust defences against digital deception.
