Ever wondered what deepfakes are, or specifically, what is a deepfake? And want it explained in a way even a kindergartener can understand?
You're in the right place. In this video, we break down “What Are Deepfakes? Explained Like You’re Five” using funny faces, silly stories, and real-world examples. Thanks to artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, deepfakes create realistic and convincing synthetic media that can make it seem like your favorite movie star is on screen—or why grandma might suddenly start rapping in a video.
You’ll learn how deepfakes work through techniques like face swap, discover where deepfakes are hiding in plain sight, and explore what makes them exciting—or maybe a little scary.
We'll also cover the dangers, including malicious use and media manipulation, and where this technology could be heading. Mischief, magic, and a pinch of deep learning science — this one's got it all.
