Learn how can deepfakes influence the information we perceive day-to-day, what the possible consequences are, and how does the machine learning changes deepfakes technology.
A deepfake is a video or audio where mostly famous people, i.e. politicians or businessmen, say and do things they actually never did. These clips are created by deep learning models. Deepfake materials can lead to serious misunderstandings since it is quite hard to differ the actual footage from deepfake.
The deep part of the deepfake that we see is mostly created by one tool called GAN, Generative Adversarial Network. This tool uses two different algorithms to outsmart each of them. In the end, algorithms create a believable picture. The reason for such fast growth of technology is the Internet. It gives us a lot of data that gives an opportunity for deepfake to spread.
