(Ebook) How Algorithms Create and Prevent Fake News: Exploring the impacts of Social Media, Deepfakes, GPT-3, and More by Noah Giansiracusa ISBN 9781484271551, 1484271556

From deepfakes to GPT-3, deep learning is now powering a new assault on our ability to tell what’s real and what’s not, bringing a whole new algorithmic side to fake news. On the other hand, remarkable methods are being developed to help automate fact-checking and the detection of fake news and doctored media. Success in the modern business world requires you to understand these algorithmic currents, and to recognize the strengths, limits, and impacts of deep learning---especially when it comes to discerning the truth and differentiating fact from fiction.This book tells the stories of this algorithmic battle for the truth and how it impacts individuals and society at large. In doing so, it weaves together the human stories and what’s at stake here, a simplified technical background on how these algorithms work, and an accessible survey of the research literature exploring these various topics.How Algorithms Create and Prevent Fake News is an accessible, broad account of the various ways that data-driven algorithms have been distorting reality and rendering the truth harder to grasp. Moderator - Whose truth?  The person that wrote this obviously has a bias against certain political parties. Whoever controls the algorithms control the truth.  This is not truth but another example of technology's potential and current danger. You want the truth?  Then let's have facts because truth relies too much on perception. As for facts, let's go back to 'MUST' have second or third - not anonymous- but declared sources when evaluating a fact. Paper trails in addition to digital trails which can be too easily altered. That's a start. Hey elections - easy solution that works in other countries - it's called paper ballots - no more elctronics. No more early voting except for disabled and military and must be in before election.  Count the votes on NIGHT of election. Decide election on night of. No more!
