Abstract:

Technological developments in AI present civilization with enormous prospects. At the same time, there is a growing need to address new implications. Because of this, the emphasis is frequently placed on moral and secure design to prevent inadvertent mistakes. On the other hand, methods focused on cybersecurity and AI safety also take into account instances of deliberate evil, such as immoral and hostile AI design. Recently, there has been a similar focus on malevolent actors in relation to virtual reality (VR) security and safety. Thus, even while the nexus of AI and VR (AIVR) presents a plethora of advantageous opportunities for cross-fertilization, considering the possible socio-psycho-technological ramifications, it is imperative to foresee future malevolent AIVR design from the outset. This study examines the potential application of Generative AI (deepfake techniques) for deception in immersive journalism, as a simplified example. From an immersive co-creation perspective, we believe that defenses against such future AIVR safety hazards associated to lying in immersive contexts should be envisaged trans disciplinarily. We initially drive a cybersecurity-focused process to produce defenses through immersive design fictions.
