deep fake 

 
 
 
 
 

INTRODUCTION
The deep fake is a technology used for
producing or changing video contents so
 
that the video presents stuff that didn't
occur. The term deep fake was first coined
in 2017 by a Reddit user named "deep
fake".Deepfake is a combination of "deep
learning " and ''fake ". It is a technique
that is used for synthesizing human
images using the technology of artificial
intelligence.
Deepfake video is created by using two
competing AI systems -- one is called the
generator and the other is called the
discriminator. Virtually , the generator
creates a fake video clip and then asks the
discriminator to deduce whether the clip
is real or fake. The generator and
discriminator together form the

1   
generative adversarial network called the
GAN, modern and unique machine
learning technique.
Deepfake works by incorporating and
superimposing existing images and videos
onto source images or videos using the
GAN Network.
The GAN network is established by
identifying the desired output and
creating a training dataset for the
generator. Once the generator starts
producing enough output, videos are fed
to the discriminator.
This technique generates new data while
using the same statistics as the training

USES OF DEEPFAKE SO FAR

● Celebrity pornographic videos
● Revenge porn
● Fake news
● Malicious hoaxes

DEVELOPMENTS
So far deepfakes have been developed
largely in two major fields:
● Academic research: academic projects
have focused on creating more realistic
videos and on making techniques
simpler, faster, etc. The “Synthesizing
Obama” program, disseminated in

3   
 2017, modifies video footage of former
President Barack Obama to illustrate
him grimacing the words contained in
a separate audio track. The earliest
landmark project was the Video
Rewrite program, published in 1997,
which modified existing video footage
of a person speaking to depict that
person mouthing the words contained
in a separate audio track.
● Amateur development: in 2017 Reddit
community users created many
deepfakes that revolved around
celebrities' faces swapped on the
bodies of porn actors. As time passed,
the Reddit users made many big fixes

4   
 in those created deepfake videos which
then increased the problem as it
became more difficult to distinguish
between the original and the fake
videos.

POLITICS.
Deepfakes have been used to misinterpret
the speeches of famous politicians on
video portals and chatrooms.
DEEPFAKE APP
In 2018 an app similar to the deep fake
was launched, by the name of FakeApp,
which helps users to conveniently swap
faces and share fake videos. This app uses
the GPU network and at least 3 to 4 GB of

5   
storage space for its purpose. The main
victims of this app are celebrities, but they
can also include common people.

CRITICISM
● The manipulation of images and
videos using artificial intelligence has
become a dangerous mass
phenomenon, the motivation behind
deepfake pornography is to insult and
control women.
● Today it takes no time to corrupt
things with new technology. The
problem with deepfakes is that it's
hard to tell the difference between
truth and deception, and which video

6   
 content is authentic.
● Many websites promised to delete and
block deep fake videos, for example,
twitter and gfycat.
As the generator gets better at creating
fake video clips, the discriminator gets
better at spotting them. Conversely, as
the discriminator gets better at
spotting fake video, the generator gets
better at creating them.

Up until today, video content has been

more difficult to alter in any significant
way. Because deepfakes are created
through AI, however, they don't

7   
 compel the substantial skill that it
would take to create a practical video
otherwise. Unfortunately, this means
that just about anyone can create a
deepfake to facilitate their selected
strategy. One threat is that people will
take such videos at face value; can't is
that people will stop believing in the
certainty of any video content at all.
It’s been feasible to alter video footage
for decades, but doing it took time,
highly qualified artists, and a lot of
wealth. Deepfake technology can
change the game. As it formulates and
develops, anyone could have the
capacity to make a persuading fake

8   
 video, including some people who
might seek to “weaponize” it for
political or other violent purposes
Deep fake makes it just as easy to
create a fake video of an imminent
emergency alert warning attack, or
destroy someone's marriage with a
fake sex video, or disrupt a close
election by dropping a fake video or
audio recording of one of the nominees
days before electing starts.
