Deepfakes' entire story, from figures to creation...
In order to produce a deepfake, the concerned person's photo must first be chosen. That is to say, you must first choose the subject and scenario you wish to deepfake. A subsequent phase then begins.
Before using the AI tool to produce deepfakes, an AI system known as Encoder determines which celebrity's face will match it the closest. Experts state that an encoder's task is to compare two faces for similarities. The decoder AI algorithm is then applied. The individual whose deepfake is to be created is discovered using the decoder. After that, a deepfake image or video is produced using a face swap.
To further understand this, consider the following example: In order to create a deepfake of a person named A, the individual's entire profile must first be extracted. The encoder then determines where the picture should fit. Once the encoder has made this decision, the decoder uses a facial swipe to produce a deepfake image or video. Both person A and person B could lose in this situation.
The Guardian claims that the first known instance of a deepfake occurred in 2017. Reddit users at the time were posting celebrity footage. Among these superstars, Scarlett Johansson, Taylor Swift, and Gal Gadot were well-known names. Following this, the deepfake market grew steadily. A request to produce 15,000 deepfakes was received by AI startup DeepTrace in september 2019. Of these, cases involving obscenity accounted for 96%.
