As AI continues to blur the line between reality and fabrication, Richard A. Mann’s Truth and AI: Seeing is No Longer Believing offers a clear and practical guide to understanding how artificial intelligence is redefining trust in the digital age. With technologies like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) powering the creation of hyper-realistic deepfakes, the book breaks down how these tools work and how they challenge our ability to distinguish real from fake.

Mann traces the evolution of digital manipulation, starting with basic photo edits and leading to today’s AI-driven media. He explains how deepfakes are made, explores the tools used to detect them, and sheds light on what this means for the way we consume information. Alongside technical insights, the book examines the ethical and societal questions that arise in a world where seeing is no longer believing.

Covering everything from deepfake detection technologies to the broader implications for security, misinformation, and public trust, Mann provides a thoughtful analysis of both the challenges and solutions AI brings to media. For listeners seeking to understand the impact of AI-generated content and how to navigate these changes, this book serves as a vital resource for staying informed in an era of rapid technological transformation.
