Deepfake Video and Audio: Is it real or is it Memorex?

Wave Sciences Founder, Keith McElveen, will be giving a presentation at the Charleston Technology Center on Deepfake Video and Audio on Wednesday, January 18th, 2023.

Back in the days before the Internet, the Memorex Corporation ran an advertising campaign featuring the singer Ella Fitzgerald promoting its line of audio cassette tapes with the tagline “Is it Live or is it Memorex?” It opened with Ella breaking a glass using only her powerful singing voice, and then repeated the feat again using a recording of her on - you guessed it - a Memorex audio cassette. Their catchy tagline morphed over time into the saying “Is it real, or is it Memorex”, keeping it relevant to the current wave of DeepFake media sweeping over social media.

Keith McElveen, CTO and founder of Wave Sciences and a practicing multimedia forensics examiner, will be joining us to delve into deepfake multimedia, how it is done, how it is caught, and where this cat and mouse game might go from here.
