A picture can be worth a thousand words, or nothing at all. Deepfakes—highly realistic and personalized, but totally falsified, video or audio tapes—are changing the value and reliability of video and audio evidence.
“Deepfakes” is the name for highly realistic, falsified imagery and sound recordings; they are digitized and personalized impersonations. Deepfakes are made by using AI-based facial and audio recognition and reconstruction technology; AI algorithms are used to predict facial (mouth, jaw, eye, etc.) movements as well as vocal sounds.
