Abstract

The advent of deepfakes has revolutionized the digital landscape, presenting both innovative applications and significant challenges. This chapter will provide a comprehensive overview of deepfake technology, focusing on its creation, detection, and mitigation strategies. By examining the evolution, current state, and future prospects of deepfakes, the chapter aims to provide a thorough understanding of this rapidly advancing field. We will explore the origins and development of deepfake technology, tracing its journey from AI research labs to widespread use on social media and beyond. Additionally, we will delve into the technical foundations and early applications of deepfakes, with a focus on Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), which are pivotal in synthesizing hyper-realistic audio and video content. The chapter will clarify the complex processes behind deepfakes, detailing how these technologies operate, the data they require, and the ethical dilemmas they raise. The rise of deepfakes has led to concerns about misinformation, privacy violations, and security threats.
