14:45 16:00 H Conference on Heritage Photography and Authenticity : Is the Past Real?
     

Heritage Photography and Authenticity: Is the Past Real? The panel is titled ‘Is the Past Real?’, referring to how AI can be used to recreate history, reshape past events, and what that could mean in the hands of the wrong people. How is this impacting the heritage sector? Will our archives be ransacked and used to distort/adjust the past to suit current political policies? History has always been a matter of perspective, e.g. Giorgio Vasari’s Lives of the Artists and Flavius Josephus’ Antiquities of the Jews, a very personal opinion in the first and authenticity and accuracy questionable in the latter? In the last few years statues of people connected to slavery have been pulled down. Will we recreate a history in which there was no slavery?

How much does the truth of the past matter? Do we need to protect our visual content (as well as other types of content) from being hacked and reimagined? How do we do that? How do we know what we are seeing is true? And how do we harness technology to authenticate what we see?
