    Study Notes

    Ethical Concerns

    • Deepfakes raise ethical concerns surrounding consent and autonomy, misrepresentation and deception, accountability and responsibility, potential harm to individuals and society, and the illusion of trust in media information sources.

    Definition

    • Deepfakes are manipulated images, videos, or audio convincingly presenting someone doing or saying something they didn't.

    Types

    • Face-swapping: Replacing one person's face with another's.
    • Lip-syncing: Making it appear as if someone is speaking words they didn't.
    • Voice-cloning: Replicating someone's voice for malicious purposes.
    • Full-body deepfakes: Creating realistic digital doubles of people.
    • Synthetic news: Generating false news reports with manipulated footage and audio.
    • Political manipulation: Using deepfakes to spread disinformation and influence public opinion.
    • Entertainment and satire: Using deepfakes for comedic or artistic purposes

    Examples

    • Robocall deepfake: An AI-generated voice impersonating President Biden instructed New Hampshire voters not to vote in a primary, believing it to be a legitimate call.

    • CFO deepfake: A worker lost $25 million after a deepfake impersonating the CFO prompted them to transfer funds. This happened despite doubts, as the voice was convincing.

    • Consequences: 8 identity cards were stolen, 90 loan applications were made, and 54 bank account registrations were attempted using the stolen identity.

    • Experts deem financial damages, plus proof of violating relevant legislation, as potential legal repercussions for individuals or entities who create and disseminate malicious deepfakes.
