Deepfake

Deepfakes use deep learning and generative AI techniques to create convincing images, videos, or audio that depict events or statements that did not actually occur. They can involve face swapping, voice cloning, synthetic video, or digitally generated identities. While deepfakes have legitimate creative applications, they can also be used to impersonate people or spread deceptive content.

Highly realistic synthetic media can make it difficult to distinguish authentic content from manipulated content. Malicious deepfakes can enable misinformation, fraud, impersonation, harassment, and reputational harm. Detecting and managing deepfakes is therefore increasingly important for AI security, content safety, and digital trust.
