Abstract
Deepfake technology, enabled by advanced AI models like GANs and diffusion networks, has created a new frontier of digital fraud. Its misuse spans financial scams, executive impersonation, political disinformation, and reputational sabotage, producing media nearly indistinguishable from reality. Legal systems remain fragmented and reactive, with inconsistent definitions, weak penalties, and difficulties in establishing liability among creators, platforms, and AI developers. The global spread of deepfakes complicates enforcement, while regulators must balance intervention with freedom of expression. This paper analyzes comparative legal responses in the European Union, United States, India, and China, alongside technological defenses such as AI classifiers, blockchain verification, and biometric tools. It advocates for harmonized laws, stronger detection, and corporate accountability to confront evolving risks.
