Deepfake Technology

Deepfake technology uses artificial intelligence to create realistic-looking fake videos or audio recordings. It involves training algorithms on real footage and then manipulating that data to generate new content where a person’s appearance or voice can be convincingly altered. This technology has been used for entertainment purposes, like in movies, but it can also raise ethical concerns, especially regarding misinformation and privacy violations. Recognizing deepfakes can be challenging, prompting ongoing discussions about the responsible use and regulation of this powerful tool in media and communication.
