Who Is at the Other End of the Keyboard? – World Wide Technology Triple-T
Forty years ago, we were fooled by computers. Twenty years ago, it was every connected phone. Today, 5.5 billion people across the globe are left questioning not just the device or caller ID—but even the face on the screen. As digital interactions evolve, our ability to verify who we’re really engaging with has only gotten harder.
This fast-paced session explores the implications of deepfakes and adversarial AI, showing just how easily identities can be manipulated online. From facial reconstruction to voice spoofing, the barriers to digital impersonation are vanishing. We’ll demonstrate how simple it is to become someone else—and then shift into a practical discussion on how we can protect ourselves and others in this new era.
Because yes, on the Internet, no one knows you’re a dog—and if you’re not, just give us five minutes. We’ll turn you into one.
Chris has been in our industry since before its inception (the lack of hair helping to identify this). His most recent projects have been focused within the aerospace, deception, deepfake, identity, cryptography, AI/AdversarialAI, and services sectors. Over the years, he’s founded or worked with numerous organizations specializing in human research, data intelligence, transportation, cryptography, and deception technologies.
These days he’s working on spreading risk, maturity, collaboration, and communication messaging across the industry. (Likely while coding his augmented EEG driven digital clone that’s monitoring his Internet usage, and tea and biscuit consumption!)
When not working he can be found in Eureka, Missouri charging round the countryside on a mountain bike, or hunkered down with the kids experimenting on ways to take over the planet. From an observability perspective he’s large, hairy, often wears a kilt, and can be found on stage with a cuppa tea in hand trying to explain to audiences why they must ask more questions before clicking life’s big red button.
