Deepfake Technology: The Good, the Bad, and the Really Ugly

Keynote Presentation

We are in a digital world where we cannot fully trust what we see and hear. Deepfakes are altered media – video or audio – where a person has been replaced with someone else’s likeness and made to appear as if they said or did something that never happened. For some people, it’s concerning and has ethical issues. On the other hand, it brings potential in the creativity space and can potentially solve problems we have not begun to imagine. Do Deepfakes bring more good than harm? Or more harm than good?

Innovative and Agile Data Delivery, using ‘A Logical Data Fabric‘

Expert Presentation

Ongoing digital transformation is generating new data assets that have the potential of offering organizations unprecedented insights into operations, business processes, customer behavior, the competition, and much more. But, if organizations cannot effectively access, integrate, and govern their data that is distributed across on-premises and multiple cloud providers’ data platforms, they are doomed to fall short of realizing its value. A logical data fabric that uses virtualization capabilities can avoid the traditional approach of integrating data.
 
In this session, you will learn how organizations can create a logical data fabric with data virtualization technology to: 

• Minimize data movement and data replication which can be time-consuming, expensive and pose security and compliance risks
• Virtually integrate, manage and govern enterprise data across on-premises and cloud for insight generation and business decision making
• Examine how and why a logical data fabric could benefit your organization today and future-proof your data architecture to meet new demands

Tech Has No Gender

According to the Global Gender Gap Report 2022, it will take 132 years to close the gender gap.
