Fake Photos (The MIT Press Essential Knowledge Series)
by Hany FaridA concise and accessible guide to techniques for detecting doctored and fake images in photographs and digital media. Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Mussolini, and other dictators routinely doctored photographs so that the images aligned with their messages. They erased people who were there, added people who were not, and manipulated backgrounds. They knew if they changed the visual record, they could change history. Once, altering images required hours in the darkroom; today, it can be done with a keyboard and mouse. Because photographs are so easily faked, fake photos are everywhere—supermarket tabloids, fashion magazines, political ads, and social media. How can we tell if an image is real or false? In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Hany Farid offers a concise and accessible guide to techniques for detecting doctored and fake images in photographs and digital media. Farid, an expert in photo forensics, has spent two decades developing techniques for authenticating digital images. These techniques model the entire image-creation process in order to find the digital disruption introduced by manipulation of the image. Each section of the book describes a different technique for analyzing an image, beginning with those requiring minimal technical expertise and advancing to those at intermediate and higher levels. There are techniques for, among other things, reverse image searches, metadata analysis, finding image imperfections introduced by JPEG compression, image cloning, tracing pixel patterns, and detecting images that are computer generated. In each section, Farid describes the techniques, explains when they should be applied, and offers examples of image analysis.
Fake Politics: How Corporate and Government Groups Create and Maintain a Monopoly on Truth
by Jason BisnoffIn “grassroots” campaigns, the grass isn’t always green—or natural.In today’s chaotic world, where the multiplication of information sources creates competing narratives, credibility is the key to winning the war of ideas. This is the reason why governments and corporations resort to astroturfing—creation of ostensibly grassroots movements set up to advance political agendas and commercial campaigns. The democratization of information and polarization of politics offer a perfect storm.Fake Politics tells the stories of how this practice has transformed political activism into a veiled lobbying effort by the rich and the powerful. Through a series of vignettes involving the tea party, oil industry, big tobacco, big data, and news media, this book will explore the similarities and differences between various campaigns that appeared as grassroots but, in reality, were lobbying efforts fueled by governments, corporations, major industries, and religious institutions.The process, named for the artificial grass fields at football stadiums and high schools across the country, became so prevalent in the last two decades that it now sits at a tipping point. In the era of “fake news” and “alternative facts,” with the truth well on its way to becoming indistinguishable from fabrication, what can the past of astroturfing tell us about the future of grassroots activism?
Fake news: Cómo se fabrican en la Argentina y en el mundo
by Julián MaradeoA partir de casos locales y del mundo, el libro cuenta la historia de las noticias falsas, de cómo nos ponen en estado de alerta y, al mismo tiempo, refleja la debilidad estatal, la falta de control y el enorme lobby alrededor de ellas. La imagen de una chica con su bebé en brazos mientras carga en la espalda una caja térmica de delivery es la punta del iceberg de un fenómeno que sacudió las nociones de verdad y mentira: las fake news. Todos estamos expuestos y a la vez las reproducimos hasta convertirlas en pandémicas. Sus consecuencias pueden alterar elecciones, decisiones de gobierno e incluso provocar muertes. A partir de casos locales y del mundo, el libro cuenta la historia de las noticias falsas, de cómo nos ponen en estado de alerta y, al mismo tiempo, reflejan la debilidad estatal, la falta de control y el enorme lobby alrededor de ellas. «Esta investigación -dice Julián Maradeo- trata sobre otra forma de ejercer el poder. Una que es imperceptible, escurridiza, placentera y extraterritorial. Una que jaquea a todas las teorías que discurrieron por siglos al respecto. Una en la que interviene un lenguaje que resulta ajeno, sujetos que parecen salidos de una película, geografías remotas. Una que pone en entredicho las reglas del juego democrático. Las noticias falsas no discriminan entre Oriente y Occidente, afectan a todos sin mirar a quién».

Faking It: Artificial Intelligence in a Human World
by Toby Walsh‘Refreshingly clear-eyed … Faking It is an insightful and intelligent book that’s a must for those looking for facts about AI hype.’ – Books+Publishing‘AI will be as big a game-changer as the smart phone and the personal computer – or bigger! This book will help you navigate the revolution.’ – Dr Karl KruszelnickiArtificial intelligence is, as the name suggests, artificial and fundamentally different to human intelligence. Yet often the goal of AI is to fake human intelligence. This deceit has been there from the very beginning. We’ve been trying to fake it since Alan Turing answered the question ‘Can machines think?’ by proposing that machines pretend to be humans.Now we are starting to build AI that truly deceives us. Powerful AIs such as ChatGPT can convince us they are intelligent and blur the distinction between what is real and what is simulated. In reality, they lack true understanding, sentience and common sense. But this doesn’t mean they can’t change the world.Can AI systems ever be creative? Can they be moral? What can we do to ensure they are not harmful? In this fun and fascinating book, Professor Toby Walsh explores all the ways AI fakes it, and what this means for humanity – now and in the future.

Faktoren der Investment-Entscheidungsfindung hinsichtlich Krypto-Robo-Advisory: Eine Analyse von Privatbankkunden (Business, Economics, and Law)
by Cam-Duc AuAuf Grund des langanhaltenden Niedrigzinsniveaus sowie der zusätzlichen Herausforderungen der Corona-Pandemie, stehen Anbieter von Finanzdienstleistungsberatungen (z. B. Banken, Vermögensverwalter) sowie Privatanleger vor finanziellen Problemen. Auf der einen Seite erleiden Banken signifikante Ertragseinbrüche in Geschäftsbereichen, die jahrelang als stabil galten (z. B. Fristentransformation). Auf der anderen Seite stehen Privatanleger der Inflationsgefahr gegenüber, die mit konservativen und niedrig verzinsten Anlagen nicht zu beseitigen ist. Ein möglicher Ausweg, um für beide Seiten finanzielle Linderung zu schaffen, stellen digitale Anlageberatungsservices, die im Fachjargon unter den Begriff Robo-Advice und Robo-Advisory bekannt sind. Dieses Konzept wird aktuell um die Einbindung sog. Krypto- Assets erweitert. Die Arbeit untersucht daher die entscheidungsbestimmenden Faktoren aus Sicht der Privatanleger hinsichtlich der Nutzung eines Krypto-Robo-Advisor.
Fall of Man in Wilmslow
by David LagercrantzJune 8, 1954. Alan Turing, the visionary mathematician, is found dead at his home in sleepy Wilmslow, dispatched by a poisoned apple. Taking the case, Detective Constable Leonard Corell quickly learns Turing is a convicted homosexual. Confident it's a suicide, he is nonetheless confounded by official secrecy over Turing's war record. What is more, Turing's sexuality appears to be causing alarm among the intelligence services - could he have been blackmailed by Soviet spies? Stumbling across evidence of Turing's genius, and sensing an escape from a narrow life, Corell soon becomes captivated by Turing's brilliant and revolutionary work, and begins to dig deeper. But in the paranoid, febrile atmosphere of the Cold War, loose cannons cannot be tolerated. As his innocent curiosity fast takes him far out of his depth, Corell realises he has much to learn about the dangers of forbidden knowledge.
Fallstudien zu Berliner Gründerpersönlichkeiten: Chancen – Risiken – Einflussfaktoren
by Annette Hoxtell Volker HasewinkelDieses Lehrbuch beschäftigt sich mit Gründerinnen und Gründern in verschiedenen Berliner Branchen mit ganz unterschiedlichen Lebensläufen und Hintergründen. Sie gründen alleine oder im Team, wollen reich werden oder die Welt verbessern und sind finanziell mehr oder weniger erfolgreich. Was sie verbindet, sind Risikobereitschaft, Engagement und Verantwortung: Sie sehen und ergreifen Chancen und nehmen dabei Risiken in Kauf, sie engagieren sich für ihre Idee und ihre Kunden und sie übernehmen Verantwortung für das eigene Tun, die Mitarbeiter und das eigene Unternehmen. Die vorgestellten Persönlichkeiten können Vorbilder für künftige Gründerinnen und Gründer sein, sie sind ein wesentlicher Teil der Wirtschaft und der Gesellschaft, sie schaffen Arbeitsplätze und sie zahlen Steuern. Die Autorinnen und Autoren der Fallstudien gehen der Frage nach, weshalb die jeweilige Persönlichkeit ihr Unternehmen gründete. Sie beleuchten Erfolge und Schwierigkeiten bis hin zum Scheitern und prüfen, ob es größere Zusammenhänge gibt, die eine Gründung beeinflussen. Die Fallstudien sollen einen Beitrag zur Forschung leisten und dazu anregen, aus den Geschichten der portraitierten Menschen zu lernen.

Auch bereits Selbständige können durch die Beschäftigung mit den Fallstudien ihre eigene Tätigkeit reflektieren und Anregungen erhalten.
Families at Play: Connecting and Learning through Video Games (The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Series on Digital Media and Learning)
by Elisabeth Gee Sinem SiyahhanHow family video game play promotes intergenerational communication, connection, and learning.Video games have a bad reputation in the mainstream media. They are blamed for encouraging social isolation, promoting violence, and creating tensions between parents and children. In this book, Sinem Siyahhan and Elisabeth Gee offer another view. They show that video games can be a tool for connection, not isolation, creating opportunities for families to communicate and learn together.Like smartphones, Skype, and social media, games help families stay connected. Siyahhan and Gee offer examples: One family treats video game playing as a regular and valued activity, and bonds over Halo. A father tries to pass on his enthusiasm for Star Wars by playing Lego Star Wars with his young son. Families express their feelings and share their experiences and understanding of the world through playing video games like The Sims, Civilization, and Minecraft. Some video games are designed specifically to support family conversations around such real-world issues and sensitive topics as bullying and peer pressure.Siyahhan and Gee draw on a decade of research to look at how learning and teaching take place when families play video games together. With video games, they argue, the parents are not necessarily the teachers and experts; all family members can be both teachers and learners. They suggest video games can help families form, develop, and sustain their learning culture as well as develop skills that are valued in the twenty-first century workplace. Educators and game designers should take note.

Family History Digital Libraries
by William Sims BainbridgeIn the modern era, every family and local community can cultivate its own history, endowing living people with meanings inherited from the people of the past, by means of today’s computer-based information and communication technologies. A new profession is emerging, family historians, serving the wider public by assisting in collection and analysis of fascinating data, by teaching talented amateur historians, and by producing complete narratives. Essential are the skills and technologies required to preserve and connect photos, movies, videos, diaries, memoirs, correspondence, artefacts and even architecture such as homes. Online genealogical services are well established sources of official government records, but usually not for recent decades, and not covering the valuable records of legal, medical, and religious organizations. Information can be shared and interpreted by family members through oral history interviews, social media, and online private archives such as wikis and shared file depositories. This book explores a wide variety of online information sources and achieves coherence by documenting and interpreting the history of a particular extended American family on the basis of 9 decades of movies and videos, 17 decades of photographs, and centuries of documents. Starting now, any family may begin to preserve their current experiences for the historians of the future, but this will require social as well as technical innovations. This book is the essential resource, providing the fundamental principles, effective methods, and fascinating questions required to make our past live again.

Family Planning Communication in India: The Actors and the Acts (South Asia in Context)
by Shashwati GoswamiThis book is the first systematic study on the historiography of the family planning communication process in India. It traces the history of the development of a highly technical health communication process. It discusses how the discourse on India’s population problem was at the heart of the development dialogue which was being promoted by the British colonial administration. The book examines the role of the censuses and the Five-Year plans in the development of the discussion on the population ‘explosion’ in India. Also, it critically discusses the role of the Ford Foundation’s leadership in institutionalising the communication process in India. The book essentially argues that population control communication enabled the ideas of a homogenised nation, an 'ideal' Indian woman and an ‘ideal’ Indian family. This, in turn, led to the obliteration of cultural, ethnic, geographical and economic specificities of India as a country. The volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of public policy, media and communication studies, Indian politics, modern Indian history and South Asian Studies.

Fancy Bear Goes Phishing: The Dark History of the Information Age, in Five Extraordinary Hacks
by Scott J. Shapiro“Unsettling, absolutely riveting, and—for better or worse—necessary reading.” —Brian Christian, author of Algorithms to Live By and The Alignment ProblemAn entertaining account of the philosophy and technology of hacking—and why we all need to understand it.It’s a signal paradox of our times that we live in an information society but do not know how it works. And without understanding how our information is stored, used, and protected, we are vulnerable to having it exploited. In Fancy Bear Goes Phishing, Scott J. Shapiro draws on his popular Yale University class about hacking to expose the secrets of the digital age. With lucidity and wit, he establishes that cybercrime has less to do with defective programming than with the faulty wiring of our psyches and society. And because hacking is a human-interest story, he tells the fascinating tales of perpetrators, including Robert Morris Jr., the graduate student who accidentally crashed the internet in the 1980s, and the Bulgarian “Dark Avenger,” who invented the first mutating computer-virus engine. We also meet a sixteen-year-old from South Boston who took control of Paris Hilton’s cell phone, the Russian intelligence officers who sought to take control of a US election, and others.In telling their stories, Shapiro exposes the hackers’ tool kits and gives fresh answers to vital questions: Why is the internet so vulnerable? What can we do in response? Combining the philosophical adventure of Gödel, Escher, Bach with dramatic true-crime narrative, the result is a lively and original account of the future of hacking, espionage, and war, and of how to live in an era of cybercrime.Includes black-and-white images

Fans and Videogames: Histories, Fandom, Archives (Routledge Advances in Game Studies)
by Melanie Swalwell Angela Ndalianis Helen StuckeyThis anthology addresses videogames long history of fandom, and fans’ important role in game history and preservation. In order to better understand and theorize video games and game playing, it is necessary to study the activities of gamers themselves. Gamers are active creators in generating meaning; they are creators of media texts they share with other fans (mods, walkthroughs, machinima, etc); and they have played a central role in curating and preserving games through activities such as their collective work on: emulation, creating online archives and the forensic archaeology of code. This volume brings together essays that explore game fandom from diverse perspectives that examine the complex processes at work in the phenomenon of game fandom and its practices. Contributors aim to historicize game fandom, recognize fan contributions to game history, and critically assess the role of fans in ensuring that game culture endures through the development of archives.
Fantasies of Virtual Reality: Untangling Fiction, Fact, and Threat (Strong Ideas)
by Marcus Carter Ben EglistonThe fantasies that underpin common perceptions of Virtual Reality—and what we need to know about VR&’s potential risks as well as its opportunities.Virtual reality is the next new frontier for Silicon Valley. Mark Zuckerberg, who has overseen Meta&’s investment of billions into VR, pitches it as the next dominant computing paradigm. More than just a gaming technology, VR is top of mind for academics, tech reportage, and industry evangelists who all see the potential for VR to revolutionize fields such as education and health, as well as the way we work and communicate. But will VR achieve all this? In Fantasies of Virtual Reality, Marcus Carter and Ben Egliston strip bare the tech industry&’s vision of a future dominated by immersive VR experiences, challenging the utopian promises of this technology&’s potential.Carter and Egliston offer a critical account of VR in a variety of contexts, from gaming to human resources to policing and the military. They argue that while VR does hold significant potential, the overhyped expectations surrounding it, from achieving true empathetic understanding to transforming traditional education and office work, are often overstated and fraught with issues of privacy, control, and exclusion. What&’s more, there is nothing truly virtual about virtual reality: VR is deeply entrenched in the material world, driven by tangible technological, economic, and social logics.An accessible introduction to this emerging technology, Fantasies of Virtual Reality is essential reading for anyone interested in what VR can really do—and what is just plain fantasy.
