Deepfake Technology
As you asked!
Deepfake Technology adopts necessary techniques from machine learning and artificial intelligence to manipulate or generate visual and audio content with a high capability/probability to deceive.
Deepfake or FaceSwap technology mainly swaps face or manipulates facial expressions.
Deepfakes are artificial media that replaces the person’s face from an image or a video to another person that looks like him/her.
The first Deepfake Production was FakeApp, developed by Reddit user. Face Swapping technology uses auto-encoder and decoder pairs where the autoencoder extracts dormant features of face images and the decoder is used to reconstruct the face images.
How it works:
