What are deepfake videos and how are they made? Deepfake videos meaning, Deepfake video technology, What technology does deepfake use? Deepfake and ai
Deepfake is videos edited and created by artificial intelligence, which first appeared in 2017. The technology used in this is called 'generative adversarial network or GAN.'
There are three ways to make a deep fake, according to AFP.
The first method involves a facial transformation, where one person's face applies to another's body. This method is relatively simple and can be done using applications that use short videos, such as Snapchat, Reface, or FaceMagic.
The second and more complex method involves face reenactment. In the studio, an actor mimics the gestures and facial expressions of the real person, and then a video is made based on that which contains the words of the actor, but the face and impressions of the real person can be heard saying the same things.
In the third method, the movement of the lips is molded in such a way that if they are applied to a person's face, then that person is seen saying words with movement. In fact, he would not have said those words.
All three methods of deepfake use artificial intelligence, which mocks the audio and video of the real person.
The more information that is put into the Deepfake app, the closer the results are in reality.
This technique is used in movies to make the actors look younger and sometimes Deep Fake is also used to cheat or blackmail someone.
Deep fake videos of politicians and celebrities have also surfaced in recent years.
In 2018, American actor and writer Jordan Peel made a deep fake video of former US President Barack Obama, in which he was seen using immoral words about his successor Donald Trump.
The video went viral and was shared by millions. According to technology magazine The Verge, the video, produced by Jordan Peel's production company, uses a "fake app" using Adobe After Effects and artificial intelligence tools to say things Obama did not say. His face, voice, and impressions are his but the words coming out of his mouth are someone else's.
Jordan Peel wanted to raise awareness about Deepfake through this video.
Between February and June this year, several videos of Hollywood actor Tom Cruise appeared on Tiktok, in which he is doing things he has never been seen doing before, such as eating magic pop with a coin.
According to CNN, it wasn't actually Tom Cruise, but Chris Ume, an artist of visual and artificial intelligence effects, who created the videos using deepfake technology with the help of actor Miles Fisher.
Although experts are working on tools to detect counterfeiting through artificial intelligence, in this age of fake news and misinformation, people are being urged to use the media or social media. Demonstrate common sense, that is, become media-savvy and learn how to recognize the real and the false.
According to the Washington Post, the threat to Deepfax's democracy is not direct but indirect, as it threatens citizens to rely on false information and lose confidence in news sources.
