Seeing is no longer believing! Technology has advanced in ways that blur the lines between what is true and what is simulated. Deepfakes, being part of that technology, is a miracle for those of us who once marvelled at face-swapping and photoshopping. Deepfakes use artificial intelligence, which makes it possible to create videos, photos, and audio that are difficult for humans to recognise as phoney. This poses serious risks, with potential consequences ranging from unfair election practices to the use of falsified evidence in court. Therefore, prompt legal action is necessary as deepfake technology continues to proliferate and evolve rapidly.
