Here is everything you need to know about DeepFake videos:
Deepfakes are not new but are more advanced due to technology. A recent deep fake video of Indian actor Rashmika Mandana highlights the issue, and many celebrities have faced similar situations. Here is everything you need to know about them and stay safe:
What are deepfakes?
Deepfakes are artificial videos created through AI to substitute a person’s likeness or vocal characteristics with those of another individual, creating the illusion that they engaged in actions they never actually performed.
Deepfakes are generated through encoder and decoder networks, frequently implemented within a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN). The encoder assesses the initial content, and extracts features, and the decoder produces the modified content, such as a fabricated face. This sequence iterates frame by frame in the case of video deepfakes.
How to detect Deepfake videos:
Spotting deepfakes requires attentiveness and a discerning observation of inconsistencies. Here are various essential indicators to be mindful of:
- Search for facial expressions that seem unnatural, discrepancies in lip-sync, or irregular blinking.
- Listen for tone, pitch, or speech pattern changes.
- Examine the video for any visual irregularities in its surroundings.
- Evaluate whether the actions or statements align with the individual’s established behavior.
- Verify the reliability of the video’s source. Exercise caution if the source is unfamiliar.
