In today’s digital age, artificial intelligence (AI) has
revolutionized every region. This technique is changing our way of life,
working style and entertainment. But, another emerging form of AI—Deepfake—is
creating new problems and disputes in society. Deepfake is a media editing
technique through which a person’s face, voice and movements can be
artificially transformed and created false videos or audio. It can be used in
positive areas, but many social, legal and ethical challenges are also revealed
by its abuse. In this article we will discuss the possibilities and challenges
of AI Deepfake.
What is deepfake?
The word Deepfake came from "Deep Learning" and
"Fake". Deep Learning is an AI technique, which enables computers to
learn and make decisions from data. Video, audio, and images with the help of Deepfake
can be modified as they look as real, but in fact they are completely fake.
This technique can be created completely new and false content, by changing the
face or voice of a person with another person.
For example, transforming the face of a well-known person into the face of another person, in which he or she would say something that he never said or done.
Deepfake Prospects
1. Entertainment & Film Industry
The biggest possibilities of Deepfake appear in the film and
entertainment industry. The manufacturer can now make the scene of the face and
voice without real actors. This technique can help build affordable and fast
film. Also, the face and voice of the dead artists can be used in old films,
making them reuseable.
2. Education and Training
Deepfake can also prove useful in education. For example,
the faces of historical personalities can be recreated, so that students get a
lively experience. The study of history and culture can be more interesting and
effective.
3. Medical and Research
Deepfake can be used in the training and practice of practitioners in the medical field. During training using real-like visual content, doctors can help to cope with real-life problems. In this way, this technique can be helpful in the field of therapy and research.
Challenges of Deepfake
But where there are chances of Deepfake on one hand, serious problems may arise from the abuse. Incorrect use of this can lead to a deep impact on personal privacy, security and society.
1. Wrong Information and fake news
The biggest threat of Deepfake is its abuse. Through this people can spread false news and misinformation. For example, by adding false things to the face of a well-known person, they can be humiliated, or confusing voters by changing the statements of political leaders. This can lead to volatility and sharing in society.
2. Personal privacy and security
Another great challenge of Deepfake is that it can violate the privacy of individuals. If a person’s face is modified without his permission, this can lead to severe damage to their image and reputation. This can result in legal and social problems.
3. Psychology and Mental Health
Deepfake can also be affected by mental health. If the face
or voice of a person is presented incorrectly without permission, then the
person can cope with mental stress and depression. Also, it can make
individuals feel uncomfortable and unsure, as they may be upset by seeing fake
information about themselves.
Deepfake and Legal Challenges
It is extremely important to take a legal step against the
abuse of Deepfake. It can cause problems in cases of image rights, privacy
violations and psychiatrist, in particular. The legal attempts have been
accelerated to control the abuse of this technique in many countries. Also in
India, technical and legal reforms are required to prevent the misuse of such
technology.
Solutions and futures
Several measures can be taken to deal with Deepfake problems. Though the abuse of this technique is more visible, the chances of its positive use are also not less. Several steps can be taken for its effective control and positive use. Some solutions are as follows:
1. Deepfake detection tools
The development of ai-based detection tools is essential for identifying Deepfake. This will enable us to identify and act on false content.
2. Education and public awareness
It is necessary to make people aware of the dangers of Deepfake. A comprehensive education and training should be conducted so that people can avoid misuse.
3. Legal correction
Strict legal steps should be taken to prevent the abuse of Deepfake. This will not only prevent the wrong use of it, but also ensure its safe and positive use.
Conclusion
Deepfake technology can improve and develop many areas in
the future. While its wrong use may lead to serious social and legal problems.
Therefore, the use of this technique requires balance and responsibility. It
can make society more advanced and prosperous when used correctly, but it can
also prove dangerous by its abuse. We have to become alert and responsible for
proper control and use of this technique.
