｜AI Fake News Workshop｜
Every day we turn on Line or other social media, click on notifications, and receive content farm texts and fake messages. But who is creating these messages and why? In fact, content farms are a well-developed international industry chain, and with the popularization of AI tools such as ChatGPT, content farms are facing a digital transformation, and fake messages have become a kind of “synthetic truth” between a human and a machine, which makes it easier to create disinformation and misinformation and allows for quicker standardization and scale-up. In this workshop, Tzu-Yi Yang, Wei-An Chen, and Hsiang-Yun Huang will share with participants the operation mechanism of ChatGPT and AI Collapse, introduce the tools for identifying fake news, and teach them how to use AI to write fake news articles in the style of a content farm. Through the reverse operation of writing fake news, we will experience the fake news labor industry and increase our immunity to fake news.

Hsien-Yu Cheng
Hsien-Yu Cheng (b. 1984, Kaohsiung, Taiwan) lives and works in Taipei. Graduated with a BFA from the Department of Theatrical Design & Technology, Taipei National University of Arts, Cheng holds a MFA from the Frank Mohr Institute at the Minerva Art Academy, Hanze University of Groningen, the Netherlands. As an artist and a software developer, Cheng’s working process expands into electronic installations, software and experimental bio-electronic devices, with an aim to explore the relationships amongst human behavior, emotion, software and machinery. In a humorous manner, he attempts to endow his works with vital signs and existential or empirical significance, to metaphorically embody his own experience and observation of the environment. He was selected as Young Talent 2011 in the Netherlands and won the first prize of Taipei Digital Art Award (2013), New Media Art of Kaohsiung Award (2017), Tung Chung Art Award (2019) and 19th Taishin Arts Award – Visual Arts Award (2021).
