Syväväärennetty

Syväväärennetty, often translated as "deepfake," refers to synthetic media in which a person's likeness is replaced with someone else's using artificial intelligence. This technology typically employs deep learning techniques, particularly generative adversarial networks (GANs), to create highly realistic but fabricated images, audio, and video. The process involves training an AI model on a large dataset of images or audio of the target person. The model then learns to superimpose this likeness onto existing media or generate entirely new content.

The creation of deepfakes has raised significant ethical and societal concerns. While the technology has potential positive applications in areas like filmmaking and entertainment, it is also widely used for malicious purposes. These include the spread of misinformation and propaganda, defamation of individuals, and the creation of non-consensual pornography. The ease with which convincing deepfakes can be produced makes them a potent tool for deception and manipulation. Efforts to detect and combat the spread of deepfakes are ongoing, involving advancements in AI detection tools and legislative measures.
