The Workshop and its Objectives

On 24 May 2023, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) Academic Outreach and Stakeholder Engagement (AOSE) and Analysis and Exploitation of Information Sources (AXIS) programs co-hosted a workshop to examine the complex set of threats posed by deepfake disinformation technologies.

Held under the Chatham House rule, the workshop was designed around the work of eight leading experts from across the open-source research community, and benefited from the insights of security practitioners representing a range of domestic and international experiences. The papers presented at the event form the basis of this report. The entirety of this report reflects the views of those independent experts, not those of CSIS.

The CSIS Academic Outreach and Stakeholder Engagement program seeks to promote a dialogue between intelligence practitioners and leading specialists from a wide variety of disciplines working in universities, think-tanks, business and other research institutions. It may be that some of our interlocutors holds ideas or promote findings that conflict with the views and analysis of CSIS, but it is for this specific reason that there is value to engage in this kind of conversation.
