Cortland County to add form submissions to website – Cortland Voice

The Cortland County website is set to receive an update within the next two months, allowing individuals applying for a job in county government to fill out digital job applications and upload other forms.

County Legislators unanimously approved a $4,675 contract with Ithaca-based web developer Internet Marketing Magicians at the end of August to aid applicants seeking employment with the countys personnel department and for individuals seeking legal representation through the countys assigned counsel department.

Jonathan Meyerhoff, the founder of IMM, issued a report for the county in late April, detailing some of the functions of the revamped website on popular content manager WordPress.

For applicants seeking employment with the personnel department, the report states that the new features on the site will allow for submission of different forms in a job application. It will also add the ability to pay for any fees using GovPay. GovPay is a national software company that aids municipalities with law enforcement financials, car registrations, and tax collection.

Additionally, Meyerhoffs report says IMM will install web applications and a firewall to identify and block malicious traffic. The companys safety protocols, Meyerhoff said, should prevent data leaks.

IMM would charge the county at a rate of $85 an hour as new projects or any other developments arise. The Ithaca-based company has aided in the development of websites for several local and national institutions, companies, and brands, including Ithaca College, Cornell University, and Caterpillar Inc.

The upgrades to the county website and other information technology (IT) matters may not stop there, according to Cortland County Legislature Minority Leader Beau Harbin.

Longer term Jack Hess, our director of IT, and I are working with an IT steering committee to look at other innovations for our website and IT offerings, said Harbin, a Democrat representing the 2nd Legislative District.

Harbin detailed a short timeline for the upgrades to the countys site.

The (job application) forms will likely be online in the next month or two, he said. But the steering committee is looking longer term at a host of items such as decreasing paper usage, increasing our IT resilience, lowering our costs while maintaining our responsiveness and more.

Deepfake Marketing: Companies Are Paying People to Hire Their Faces for Promotional Videos – NDTV

So far, researchers have used artificial intelligence for computational purposes to solve complex problems. They have also deployed AI in automated vehicles and to predict consumer behaviour. But a new trend is sweeping the world. People are now hiring out their faces to companies and start-ups that then use their clones in digital marketing and educational videos across the globe. Doing so does not require them to physically shoot these videos, thus allowing them to go on with their regular work and earn for just letting someone use their face. There are some benefits of this technology but also big implications for the human workforceincluding making deepfakes mainstream.

A recent report in MIT Technology Reviewshowed how this technology was being used to let people remain present at multiple locations at the same time. It cited the example of Liri, a 23-year-old college student who has several part-time jobs. She does waitressing and bartending gigs in Tel Avivand also sells cars, works in retail, and conducts job interviews in Germany.

Liri does her Tel Aviv jobs in person and has hired out her face to a startup, which uses her face and voice to create AI characters that appear in marketing and educational videos for firms around the world. It is definitely a bit strange to think that my face can appear in videos or ads for different companies, she was quoted as saying in the report.

How does it work?

All a person is required to do is talk and make different facial expressions to a high-resolution camera. The company will then feed the data into an AI software, that works like deep fake tech. The characters generated can then be used in promotional and commercial videos. Some companies may use professional voice artists to record the audio. Liri receives a payment every time a client licenses a video that uses her face.

While this has worked out well for Liri, many fear that using technology in this way could reduce the availability of this kind of acting work. They also want that people who hire out their facesshould have some kind of control over where their faces areused for security reasons as well as to avoid a potential conflict of interest with their work.

For a lot of talent, their likenesses are valuable assets that warrant proper protection and compensation for their use, a spokesperson for SAG-AFTRA, a union for US movie, television, and radio performers was quoted in the report.
