OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
China implemented new regulations on ‘deep synthesis’ technology in January 2023.
Some commentators have called it a ‘landmark’, ‘first-of-its-kind’ and the ‘most comprehensive’ law in the world regulating deepfakes. The regulations prohibit the use of such technology for spreading ‘fake’ news or information that could disrupt the economy or national security, which authorities have wide latitude to interpret. Providers of ‘deep synthesis technologies’ must take steps to prevent the use of their services for illegal or harmful purposes, protect user privacy by requiring consent, authenticate user identity, and label synthetic content, among other legal obligations.
Professor Mimi Zou, Chair in Commercial Law at the University of Exeter, will examine the multi-faceted and conflicting policy rationales underlying the new regulations in the Chinese context, their likely implications for different actors and the challenges that may arise in its implementation and enforcement.
This talk will be followed by a drinks reception, all welcome.
