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:

• Credibility and authenticity: Deep fake motion pictures has been more difficult to create and the use of Face Swapping, increases the difficulty of classifying videos as genuine or not
