on AI, KR deepfakes

As to whether KR is a subset of AI or vice versa. it is largely a matter of
point of view (what one considers the top level category) In an ontology
where THING=mind, intelligence, KR,

 KR consists of methods used to make K explicit so that it can be
embedded  consistently in declarations and procedures etc

AI is the result of the systematic automation and implementation of KR
not viceversa!!

The fact that CS has traditionally placed KR as a side thing to AI (without
better definition) IS a problem, resulting in unreliability and risk factors
(this much I have already written and talked about) leading to the
unqualified use of very smart and powerful systems (ML)

I do not have a problem with other people have a different view
To make statements contrary to fact is the heart of Deepfake
and other distortions

Regarding HOW to use KR to curb deepfakes (answer to a question in an
earlier Dave R post) is actually quite simple.
1. KR is necessary for fact checking. without fact checking,. there can be
no reasoning
2. is necessary for evaluation of statements and processes, without which
there is no reliability

Of course, K can always be faked especially if directly, intentionally so

Deepfakes are the result of direct intentional misrepresentation
 KR is necessary to evaluate if something is true or false

Simply put, given a video clip where Obama makes a statement,
we need KR to be able to ask ourselves  is the statement true or has it
been faked?
I am not aware of any other method to identify deliberate misrepresentation
than checking the facts
Sure enough, truth, context and facts are not black and white

what is fake? in the age of technological reproducibility, mass delusion
and political manipulation of information what is being passed for true is
ongoing discussion in the politics and economy department
Fact checking is very specialised and has also limitations
(how much can one dig)


SIDE NOTE Governments say there is an energy crisis but  that there is
enough suppressed  viable and economical technology to produce enough
renewable  to satisfy the majority of the demand in most countries,
Depriving people of heath is going to
make angry and motivated to act.  Disinformation is the token of politics
dominated by the interest of a few. Science and technology are part of that
scenario.

The ability to discern truth based on some fact is reasoning

If any of you great people on this list know of another way
to find out whether  a piece of information is real or fake other than
using knowledge, and its explicit representation please share it here
