Dr Dan Cavedon-Taylor is editing a Topical Collection of leading philosophy journal, Synthese. The topic is deepfakes. The deadline is 30^th July 2020.

Please see the full Call for Papers.

Deepfakes are fabricated video and/or audio recordings created by machine-learning methods. They are highly convincing in their appearance and are widely anticipated to be used for malign, deceptive purposes. Despite growing interest among philosophers, only a handful of papers on deepfakes have reached publication. This Topical Collection aims to be a cutting-edge resource for those researching philosophical perspectives on the technology, one that examines the full variety of ways that deepfakes might impact our lives and be relevant for understanding a range of phenomena.
