Deepfake, a portmanteau of "deep learning" and "fake", is an artificial intelligence-based human image synthesis technique. It is used to combine and superimpose existing images and videos onto source images or videos.

Deepfakes may be used to create fake celebrity pornographic videos or revenge porn. Deepfake pornography surfaced on the Internet in 2017, particularly on Reddit, and has been banned by sites including Reddit, Twitter, and Pornhub. Deepfakes can be used to create fake news and malicious hoaxes.

Non-pornographic deepfakes can be easily found on popular online video streaming sites such as Youtube or Vimeo. A popular program is FakeApp, which makes use of TensorFlow.

Techniques to faking facial gestures and rendering onto the target video as look-alike of the target person were presented in 2016 and allow near real-time counterfeiting of facial expressions in existing 2D video.

Deepfakes in politics

Deepfakes have been used to misrepresent well-known politicians on video portals or chatrooms. For example, the face of the Argentine President Mauricio Macri was replaced the face of Adolf Hitler, and Angela Merkel's face was replaced with Donald Trump's.

Deeepfake app

In January 2018 a mobile application called FakeApp was launched. The app allows users to easily create and share videos where the faces had been swapped. The app uses an artificial neural network and the power of the graphics processor and three to four gigabytes hard disks to generate the fake video. For detailed information, the program needs a lot of visual material from the person to be inserted in order to learn which image aspects have to be exchanged, using the previously mentioned deep learning algorithm based on the video sequences and images. The software uses the KI-Framework TensorFlow of Google, which among other things was already used for the program DeepDream. Celebrities are the main targets of such fake sex videos, but some individuals are also affected.
