DeepFake Technologies : Should we embrace ?

What is Deepfake

Deepfake is a technical way of generating not genuine videos, audio and visual images based on real data inputs. This is commonly archived using deep learning and machine learning technologies. Deep learning technology uses high-power computers to correct their self by its own without any human intervention.

There is quite several deepfake software available in the market. Some of them are

FaceApp [https://www.faceapp.com/]
DeepFace Lab [https://github.com/iperov/DeepFaceLab]

below shows some popular deepfake creations that we have seen in the past.

The video was first shared by the Dutch deepfake YouTube Channel.

How this is been created

An ordinary way of archiving this is to use deep learning AI programs to identify patterns and similarities of real video, audio and images and change the reality to map the target outcome. These programs use quite several genuine inputs and manipulate the real data to match the target output.

Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) AI programs are also used for generating deepfake assets. These programs basically contain two components, Generator and Discriminator. The generator creates the assets and Discriminator keeps on evaluating generated assets to identify whether it is fake or real based on real data and provides the feedback to Generator. Deepfake assets will go through rounds of evaluations before producing the final output.

Business use cases

Technology has been used for entertainment, spreading false news and many other negative aspects. However below shows current and future aspects of the technology for Business use cases.

Media News - Media News anchors can be introduced to the technology. Breaking news, and generally whether forecast can be easily imitated.
Introduces real-life characters to gaming and augmented reality applications.
Generating Audiobooks and vocal content based on a real person without actually performing.
Use celebrities or VIPs for creating awareness content.
Virtual Class Rooms and Virtual Sessions.
First line interaction for Virtual agents and support portals and then pass to the real agent.
Realistic IVR (Interactive voice response) agents.

Keep in Mind

In all cases, there should be policies, regulations and processes to capture and use of real person’s identity. Technology can be easily used to bring social and cultural damage.
