Creating Deepfake Videos with GANs

The use of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to produce deepfake videos is a noteworthy development in artificial intelligence and video editing technology. Deepfakes are synthetic media that substitute someone else’s likeness for a person’s, frequently producing incredibly lifelike and convincing films. Usually, the procedure entails training a GAN, which is made up of the discriminator and generator neural networks. By learning the traits and features of the target person’s movements and facial expressions, the generator produces phoney photographs or videos, and the discriminator compares the created outputs’ authenticity to actual photos. Until the generator creates extremely realistic video that is hard to tell apart from real footage, this adversarial training process is continued.The use of deepfake technology in entertainment, including video games and movies, as well as in the production of material for social media has drawn attention. But technology also brings up serious ethical issues, especially with relation to false information, invasions of privacy, and possible abuse for nefarious ends, such making fake movies. In order to reduce the risks connected with this potent technology, researchers are therefore not only improving the ways for creating deepfakes but also creating detecting algorithms to spot modified content.
