What is Deepfake?
The technology of adapting one person's voice or image to another person in a way that is indistinguishable from the real thing, using artificial intelligence.
Overview
Deepfake uses deep learning methods to take an existing image or audio recording and manipulate it on another content. This technology can make it appear as if a person is having a conversation they never had. While it can be used for entertainment purposes, it is also carefully monitored for security due to the risk of misinformation.
How it works

Where it is used
It is used in effects production in the film industry, entertainment content on social media and cyber security training.
Commonly confused with
Not to be confused with simple photo editing; deepfake covers much more complex and moving content.
