Synthetic Media is the term we use at betaworks to describe algorithmically created or modified media. And it has the power to entirely upend the future of the consumer media landscape & reshape the content & ideas we consume & create. Synthetic Reality (mixed-intelligence, hybrid human-machine states) is already blurring the lines that shape the human experience: enhancing, augmenting, & challenging our interactions with intelligent machines.
