The World is Talking About It: Deepfake Technology

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are at work again!

In this article, we will talk about a highly attention-grabbing artificial intelligence application known as Deepfake technology, which has been prominent in recent times.

Envisioned to elevate the entertainment industry, especially the cinema sector, this technology seems to make previously impossible applications possible. Get ready to encounter both eerie and mind-boggling aspects of this technology.

What is Deepfake?

The concept of Deepfake, invented in 2017, is a technique based on artificial intelligence for synthesizing human images.

It utilizes a machine learning technique known as a generative adversarial network to merge and superimpose existing images and videos onto source images or videos.

As we can foresee from here, it is now possible to realistically place any face on any video. Detecting the authenticity of these videos or productions is also extremely challenging. Therefore, we are faced with a technology that is both mind-boggling and raises questions in our minds.

We have witnessed the most striking applications of this technology in video montages of famous faces like Obama, Putin, and Tom Cruise.

These videos reached millions of people, and perhaps, if these videos were not shared with the Deepfake label, we would never have been able to discern their falseness.

Now, let’s examine some striking examples that introduced the whole world to Deepfake technology:

Obama — Deepfake application

Tom Cruise — Deepfake application

Artificial intelligence technology is evolving day by day, causing skepticism in every application:

“How do they do this? How does this technology work?”

Here is the answer to this question:

Deepfake technology, with its incredible applications, also signals some danger signs. People are concerned about the negative consequences this technology may have when used maliciously. Users who can now use this artificial intelligence technology can montage any face onto any video they desire. This foresight particularly poses a threat to politicians and celebrities.

As you can see, Obama is portrayed as saying things he never actually said, all through the use of Deepfake technology. Similarly, many politicians like Putin and Trump have also been affected by this technology.

The concern arises from the fact that this technology may pave the way for defamation, blackmail, and threats.

Turning technology into a weapon is now much easier…

The importance of technology awareness is increasing!

Being conscious in the new world dynamics is now more important than ever! As technology advances and internet usage becomes more widespread, information pollution has also begun to increase in the same direction.

Situations where we remind ourselves not to believe everything we see will likely become more prevalent with the growth of Deepfake technology.

Gaining technological awareness, becoming conscious, has become a crucial position for every individual in today’s world.

Our goal should be to turn technology into a tool rather than a weapon through conscious technology use…

For this reason, as GFDS, we continue to research, work, and produce.

Until we meet again in our future articles
