The Threat of Deepfakes to Computer and Human Visions

Abstract

AbstractDeepfake videos, where a person’s face is automatically swapped with a face of someone else, are becoming easier to generate with more realistic results. The concern for the impact of the widespread deepfake videos on the societal trust in video recordings is growing. In this chapter, we demonstrate how dangerous deepfakes are for both human and computer visions by showing how well these videos can fool face recognition algorithms and naïve human subjects. We also show how well the state-of-the-art deepfake detection algorithms can detect deepfakes and whether they can outperform humans.
