Definition
Deepfakes are hyper-realistic audio or video manipulations created using generative adversarial networks (GANs) or autoencoders. They raise significant ethical concerns regarding misinformation, privacy violations, and non-consensual imagery. Detecting deepfakes is an active area of research, involving forensic analysis and AI-based detection tools to maintain integrity in digital media and public discourse.
