Abstract

This chapter explores deepfake technology's ethical and legal implications across business, politics, and society. Deepfakes, utilizing advanced AI techniques, pose significant threats, including the erosion of trust, manipulation of public opinion, privacy violations, and legal challenges such as defamation and intellectual property infringement. This work examines the technology's potential for misuse in creating deceptive content, impacting areas from financial fraud to political disinformation. It analyzes existing legal frameworks, including those in China, the EU, and the USA. It proposes mitigation strategies, such as AI-driven detection tools, blockchain verification, and educational initiatives to foster media literacy. The analysis underscores the need for collaborative efforts between businesses, regulators, and technology developers to navigate the complexities of deepfakes and safeguard the authenticity of digital information, emphasizing the balance between technological innovation and ethical responsibility.
