FAQ About Deepfake

Deepfakes are realistic-looking media content that has been modified and falsified using artificial intelligence techniques.

Artificial intelligence is used to create images, audio or video forgeries that mislead deceptively real content. The term deepfake is a trunk word of deep learning and fake.

The first and currently most common use of deepfakes is in the area of “face swapping”. In visual material (such as videos or photos), the face of one person is swapped with a generated face of another person in order to represent a target person in a different context.

Reproductions without the author's consent are illegal; assembly could violate so-called moral rights. Those affected should try to make the video, in which they “play along” with the deepfake, as inaccessible as possible and prevent redistribution.

How do you create deep fakes? It is now easier and easier to create deep fakes yourself. With various apps or integrated filters in social networks, you can use your face in familiar movie scenes, let yourself or others age, or change gender.

In most cases, deepfakes can be seen with the naked eye so far. As impressive as the technology on which deepfakes are based is, it is not yet perfect. Typical features include unnatural facial expressions, empty gaze or even incorrect shadows on the face.

And there are also deepfake methods for images, which means you can let people age, change their facial features, etc. In summary, whenever it comes to digital media content that is falsified or manipulated through deep learning, we speak of deepfakes.
