Participants from over 25 countries\u00a0across the world\u00a0<\/span>are undergoing Multimedia Forensics training in India’s Gandhinagar city.<\/span><\/p>\n

The training\u00a0is aimed at\u00a0<\/span>equipping\u00a0participants with knowledge\u00a0<\/span>in multimedia forensic, a skill that plays an essential role\u00a0in crime reporting<\/span>\u00a0and journalistic investigation, and advocacy\u00a0f<\/span>or<\/span>\u00a0justice.<\/p>\n

The training, being held\u00a0under\u00a0the Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation (ITEC)\u00a0p<\/span>rogramme,<\/span>\u00a0will run for fourteen days, with\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0ultimate objective of equipping participants with\u00a0skills in\u00a0advanced multimedia forensics and cyber security through speci<\/span>alised education and research.<\/p>\n

Zambia News and Information Services (ZANIS)\u00a0has sent a participant in<\/span>\u00a0the programme\u00a0being held at the National Forensics Sciences University (NFSU), the world\u2019s first and only university that stands as a pioneering centre of excellence dedicated to advancing cybersecurity through speci<\/span>alised education and research.<\/p>\n

The training has drawn participants from different fields among them\u00a0j<\/span>ournalists, scientists and security personnel from different parts of the world who have\u00a0gathered<\/span>\u00a0to learn more on advanced video, audio and image investigation for accurate reporting and investigation processes.<\/p>\n

A number of topics have been lined up,<\/span>\u00a0among them emerging trends in digital and multimedia related crimes and also facial analysis and recognition from digital photo and video footage or evidence.<\/p>\n

The training is also expected to equip different professions\u00a0with skills on how to<\/span>\u00a0identify authentic and non-authentic video and audio footage,<\/span>\u00a0considering the emergency<\/span>\u00a0of advanced technology such as Artificial Interagency (AI) among others.<\/p>\n

Techniques for dictating fake news and deep faked misinformation, including block chains for ensuring integrity in the collection and preservation of digital evidence are some of the sessions to be conducted during the training.<\/p>\n

It is also covering topics such as the digital image processing as well as the tools and techniques used for video enhancements and authentication.<\/p>\n

Deep fake detections in images and videos, including the legal considerations in cases related to digital and multimedia case investigations, as well as detecting the origin of multimedia files confirming its integrity are some of the topics that are being conducted.<\/p>\n

Hands-on less<\/span>ons are also being conducted where the\u00a0participants are\u00a0<\/span>being taken out to other different schools of excellence within India that are dealing with forensic sciences and cyber security issues for physical experiences.<\/p>\n

After the training, participating countries are expected to be equipped with advanced skills for investigating multimedia forensic and help with cartel challenges that come with\u00a0the\u00a0<\/span>misuse of Artificial Intelligence (AI) among others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
