Deepfake technology refers to the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to create hyper-realistic but fake audio or video content. This technology enables users to superimpose one person's face onto another's body or alter someone's facial expressions and voice seamlessly. Deepfakes can be used for both positive and negative purposes, ranging from entertainment and artistic expression to malicious intent and misinformation.
According to a report by the Center for Security and Emerging Technology, the number of deepfake videos has increased exponentially over the past few years. While the technology continues to evolve, its potential for misuse has raised significant concerns among policymakers, technologists, and the general public.
