OVERLOAD – The AI media flood is coming. What is still real, what is fake?

  • How will AI impact future media content and our media consumption?
  • An analysis of managing content overload and detecting AI-generated fakes.

The Mona Lisa hosts the evening news – and why that might not be a bad thing.

The number of available content in media, entertainment, and social media is growing at an unprecedented pace. And there will be even more in the future. By 2026, it is estimated that well over 90% of the content will be of synthetic origin and produced with the help of Artificial Intelligence. This not only brings challenges in terms of the sheer volume of content, but also raises serious questions about authenticity and credibility. In addition to overwhelming users with the sheer quantity of content, questions arise about authenticity, truth, and relevance: What is a trustworthy news source? What constitutes a real photo or video? How can we regain control in the midst of this overwhelming amount of content?

This book explains in simple terms the unstoppable growth of content and shows how we can keep track of it, find trustworthy sources, and harness the development for our professional and personal benefit.
