Medium: The World of Deepfakes

What if a person had the ability to impersonate your physical traits and voice? With the current artificial intelligence technology, a person’s face can be replaced with somebody else’s. This technology creates videos known as deepfakes, an AI-based software that creates hyper realistic videos that present something that didn’t happen. The reason why it became viral was because of a Reddit user by the username “deepfakes”, posted hyper realistic videos of celebrities on pornographic videos.
