Deepfake AI making waves: A look into its impact and potential
I have a big interest in AI and all its new and old capabilities. In continuation of exploring the ethics of big data and machine learning, I looked at the recent discoveries in Deepfake videos and audios. Needless to say, we only see this used in movies and not so much in our real lives. However, this does not mean it is not used in real life. In fact, this has been used in manipulation of news. So, in this blog I talk about ethical thoughts and considerations of using this technology. Understanding Deepfake AI Deepfake AI short for “deep learning based fake artificial intelligence” is AI used to create realistic but fabricated images, audios, or videos. This is a good use of deep learning (a machine learning subtopic), where artificial neural network inspired by human brain and structure, learn to perform tasks by recognizing patterns in data. Deepfake uses…
