Imagine deepfake footage of a CEO engaging in bribery, a politician committing a sexual assault just a few days before an election, or soldiers committing atrocities on foreign soil. In our current environment, where conspiracy theories thrive, deepfakes could lead to catastrophic consequences. We are at an inflection point. Soon, deepfakes will move from being an oddity to possibly becoming a destructive social and political force. This presentation will discuss how deepfakes are made using deep learning methods and explore the possible impacts to society and to cybersecurity with some recent examples. The presenter will also discuss some of the latest research into deepfake detection.
