Abstract

The deep learning generative adversarial networks (GANs) discussed in the previous chapter for creating synthetic photos have also been applied to video synthesis and editing. Clips can now be created of people doing and saying things they never did or said in real life. This is leading to a double-pronged challenge in society’s attempts at discerning the truth: fake videos are spreading across the internet causing people to believe in events that never took place, and simultaneously real videos have been falsely claimed as deepfakes causing people to doubt reality itself. In this chapter, you will see how deepfake videos have impacted politics and journalism, how the discord they sow relates to that of previous generations of image and video manipulation, and what legal and technological attempts are being made to rein them in.

The techniques for doing the audio portion of a deepfake are similar to the video ones, except recurrent neural networks are typically used instead of convolutional neural networks, for those who know what that means.

You’ll remember that infrequent blinking was one of the oddities about Ali Bongo’s New Year’s address video that led people to think it was a deepfake. Interestingly, it turns out the reason many deepfakes tended to have infrequent blinking was in part because people are seldom photographed with their eyes closed, so any algorithm that included photos (not just videos) in its training data would falsely “learn” that people spend more time with their eyes open than they actually do. See Siwei Lyu, “Detecting ‘deepfake’ videos in the blink of an eye,” The Conversation, August 29, 2018: https://theconversation.com/detecting-deepfake-videos-in-the-blink-of-an-eye-101072.
