Deepfakes for Good

In this technology-driven era, it is not uncommon to see fake news and propaganda spreading like wildfire. To make matters worse, the advancement in artificial intelligence has created deepfake, a new technology emerging to be one of the most common causes for nefarious activities. Deepfake employs artificial intelligence to create fake audios, videos and pictures that seem pretty authentic. This technology is mainly used for nefarious purposes such as defamation, revenge porn, and election propaganda. In recent years, thousands of deepfake videos targeting actors, actresses and political leaders have created havoc.
