Abstract
This chapter investigates students' perceptions, knowledge, and attitudes toward deepfake technology, including its potential misuse and related protection and reporting mechanisms. The research employs a focus group discussion involving 10 students from five faculties at the University “St. Kliment Ohridski” – Bitola: Faculty of Law, Faculty of Education, Faculty of Technical Sciences, Faculty of Information and Communication Technologies, and Faculty of Biotechnical Sciences. Preliminary findings indicate that while students are generally familiar with the concept of deepfakes, they lack sufficient skills to accurately identify deepfake content. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study in North Macedonia to examine students' awareness and understanding of deepfake technology. Based on these results, the chapter offers recommendations aimed at enhancing public awareness and improving students' ability to recognize and respond to deepfake materials effectively.
