What are deepfakes?
Deepfakes are a form of synthetic media that involves the use of artificial intelligence to create realistic but entirely fabricated content. Here are some key points about deepfakes:
- Deepfakes use AI algorithms, particularly deep learning techniques, to manipulate or generate audio, video, or images.
- They can superimpose one person’s face onto another person’s body in videos, making it appear as though someone said or did something they didn’t.
- Deepfakes can create highly convincing and deceptive content, making it difficult to distinguish from genuine media.
- They have the potential to be used for malicious purposes, such as spreading false information, identity theft, and cyberbullying.
- Concerns about deepfakes have led to increased scrutiny and the development of technologies to detect and combat their use.
- Deepfake technology continues to evolve, posing challenges for both individuals and society in terms of privacy, trust, and security.
