❓ So, what is a deepfake?
Simply put, deepfakes are videos in which one person's face has been replaced by a computer-generated face that closely looks like another person. The term was born in Reddit. The programs that create deepfakes usually use two different AIs at the same time. This technology has evolved to the point that it is accessible to nearly everyone. And it is likely to get easier as computing power improves. But the power of deepfakes is even more sinister than might originally seem.

🚫 The dangers of deepfake:
Channel 4, in England, made a statement with the video known as “Queen Elizabeth’s alternative Christmas Speech” in 2020. The video began with the Queen addressing the British people as she does every year… but then, things got twisted when she began to make jokes about public crown scandals from that year. Only when she stood up to dance, people started to realize it wasn’t really her. The video raised awareness, as well as some eyebrows, and put on the table the conversation about the seriousness and even maybe the dangers of deepfake technology.

And that’s just the beginning. Deepfakes can be used in warfare to raise or kill military morale.

Not everything is merely misinformation, though. Deepfakes can be used to target pretty much everyone, from celebrities and political figures to regular citizens. It was just two years ago that Sensity, an intelligence company specialized in visual threats, recorded 85 thousand deepfake videos. These meant to destroy reputations.

🔮 The future of deepfakes?
Recent tech developments have advanced towards biometrical technologies, from cellphones locks to bank accounts and passports. These types of security that rely heavily on face recognition seem to be at risk with deepfakes evolving at such a fast pace.

Not everything is grim, though. There have already been positive uses of deepfake technology. For example, it is being used in training videos for companies, and there are TV shows like “Sassy Justice” that create characters’ faces using AI.

Supporting initiatives that promote transparency in the development and deployment of deepfake technology is crucial. By advocating for openness and ethical considerations, we can ensure that deepfake technologies are developed with a commitment to transparency and societal well-being.

Please add subtitles, so that it would be more helpful 🙏👍

Well it will go wrong as everything but we will still go on with this.

Possibly some new laws? Like if You put deepfaked video without notice then You go to jail etc.

And before this we need to wait for some big deepfakes to hit public opinion also

All I know I am investing my time in learning algorithms connected with the topic :)

Interesting, informative, and very well presented guys. But I've got to say it could use just a bit more realism. All or most of the actors used to portray scientists, criminals and etc look like polished super-models.

There's no flaw, grit or grime to any of them or in any representative scene. I realize that probably sounds bizarre and is just an opinion based on my personal Aesthetic Preference; But I think for stories such as this an air of realism would be much more impactful on your viewership.
