We'll talk about how easy it is to clone someone's voice, our telltale linguistic habits, and how good ordinary people are at distinguishing human language from AI. On the last day, you'll have the chance to turn detective with your own high-profile fraud case to crack.

🗣️ It's the last FACTOR talk of the academic year! Join us for Dr. Tharindu Ranasinghe's discussion of the challenges of offensive language detection in political discourse, including how human and machine moderators often disagree on what's considered offensive.
Brutalist, graphic-novel-style illustration, muted, earthy color palette, deep ochre, slate blue, charcoal. A chaotic social media debate on fragmented speech bubbles, some censored, others highlighted in red. A mechanical moderator, cold and rigid, clashes with a human moderator, expressive and conflicted, both struggling to define 'offensive'. background hints at political discourse, silhouettes of clashing ideologies

This talk explores how "creepypasta" and sites like r/nosleep reimagine reality with eerie, dreamlike qualities. Join us to discuss myths, simulacra, and the cybersecurity risks of online horror spaces.
An abstract, surreal digital artwork of dark, eerie cyberspace. A web of glowing screens and ghostly figures emerges from shadowy code, evoking horror forums like 'creepypasta' and 'r/nosleep.' The environment feels disorienting and spectral, blending the digital and the uncanny, with faint echoes of familiar landmarks or everyday objects rendered unsettling and unrecognizable, as the scene blends muted color with neon accents, creating a haunting, dreamlike atmosphere.
