Deepfakes

Deepfakes are realistic-looking fake videos or audio recordings created using artificial intelligence, specifically deep learning techniques. They can replace a person's likeness or voice in media, making it appear as though they are saying or doing something they never did. While this technology has entertainment and educational potential, it raises ethical concerns about misinformation, privacy invasion, and potential misuse for fraud or manipulation. As deepfakes become more sophisticated, it becomes increasingly challenging to distinguish between genuine content and fabricated media, highlighting the need for critical media literacy and advanced detection methods.
