Deepfake

Deepfakes are artificially produced media which use a form of artificial intelligence called deep learning to make images of fake events. While the action of faking media content has been seen in the past through agents such as photoshop, the machine learning techniques used by deepfakes make them particularly deceiving. The use of deepfakes to create deceptive fake news, celebrity pornographic content, and financial fraud has led to responses to make them more easily detectable and to limit their use. Although deepfakes are most widely known for these adverse applications, they can also be used in more positive ways, such as film dubbing and in educational applications.

Pornographic Uses

A large majority of the deepfakes that are currently on the internet are those of pornographic nature. As of September 2019, of the 15,000 deepfake videos on the internet, 96% were pornographic and 99% of those mapped faces of celebrities onto porn stars.
