For over five years, WITNESS has been researching synthetic media and emerging technologies that have the potential to enhance–or undermine–trust in audiovisual witnessing. We are proud to announce WITNESS’ years of deepfakes and generative AI work is now hosted in one place on our new microsite.
WITNESS is proud to launch our new guide, which seeks to assist communities affected by extractive industries to collect actionable video and photo documentation of violations committed by Big Mining, governments, and other perpetrators.
