In this episode of WGMI – We're Going to Make It, we dive into the world of deepfake technology, a phenomenon combining deep learning and fake imagery. We explore the creation and detection of hyper-realistic videos and images that misrepresent reality, often with serious consequences. From algorithms like 3D ResNet to tools like DeepSwap and DeepFace Lab, we cover the technical aspects and ethical implications of this rapidly advancing technology. We also discuss how deepfakes are increasingly used in illicit activities, impacting individuals and society. The episode highlights the challenges in detecting deepfakes, from algorithmic techniques to human vigilance, emphasizing the need for continual evolution in our defense mechanisms. Join us for a 15-minute journey into the fascinating yet alarming world of AI-generated content.
