Deepfakes, Revenge Porn, And The Impact On Women

Imagine seeing yourself in a sexually explicit video in which you have never participated. This is a distinct possibility today for a female celebrity or a regular woman living in the age of Deepfakes. Deepfake is a technique used to manipulate human images based on artificial intelligence. What sets Deepfake images or videos apart from other modified images is that the former looks strikingly authentic. Earlier this year, a Deepfake video that went viral showed comedian Bill Hader's face being seamlessly transformed into that of Tom Cruise.
