Conference: Labelling authentic and generated content: up-date in technology, standards, and ethical/legal issues

Moderator: Thierry Secrétan (Head of corporate development and strategic alliances, IMATAG)
Speakers: Mathieu Desoubeaux (CEO IMATAG); Antoine Level (lAI regulatory lead IMATAG)14:4516:00HConference 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?

This conference is organised and moderated by Andrea Stern (ASA)

Speakers: Jean-David Bénuchou, CEO of Artinity ; Joël Halioua, Private consultant for editorial and fine art photographers ; John Balean, operation manager at TopFoto ; Alan Capel, CCO at Smartframe ; Vered Horesh, Chief Stategic AI Partnerships at BRIA

Where Law and Technology Meet

This event promises invaluable insights into the intersection of law and technology, offering attendees a deeper understanding of the legal implications surrounding AI integration.
Modern AI technologies significantly expand creative opportunities for creative teams in many directions, while creating new risks at the legislative, technical and ethical levels.
Today we will look at a number of such technologies and associated benefits and risks.
Questions to discuss:
- What particular technology offers?
- What legal risks associated
- What we can advice on processing data, metadata changes etc?
Technology:
- Auto tagging, logo recognition, auto description etc
- Facial detection, facial recognition
