Deepfakes Technolog Topic 1
How Deepfakes work Deepfake content is created by using two competing AI algorithms -- one is called the generator and the other is called the discriminator. The generator, which creates the phony multimedia content, asks the discriminator to determine whether the content is real or artificial. Together, the generator and discriminator form something called a generative adversarial network. Each time the discriminator accurately identifies content as being fabricated, it provides the generator with valuable information about how to improve the next deepfake. The first step in establishing a GAN is to identify the desired output and create a training dataset for the generator. Once the generator begins creating an acceptable level of output, video clips can be fed to the discriminator. As the generator gets better at creating fake video clips, the discriminator gets better at spotting them. Conversely, as the discriminator gets better at spotting fake videos, the generator gets better a...
