Deepfake technology has been making headlines recently due to a fake video of actor Rashmika Mandanna circulating on the internet. This video has raised concerns about the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and its potential for spreading misinformation. In the viral video, a woman who closely resembles Rashmika Mandanna is seen entering an elevator. The video looks so real that it has caught the attention of Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan and Union Minister of State for IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar. However, the truth is that this video is a result of deepfake technology.
So, what exactly is deepfake technology? It is a technology that uses AI and machine learning to create realistic visual and audio content that can deceive viewers. Deepfake technology takes the face of one person and superimposes it onto another person in a video, making it appear as if the second person is actually saying or doing things that they are not.
Deepfake technology has come a long way since its inception. It gained significant popularity when the movie ‘Fast and Furious 7’ was completed and released after the death of actor Paul Walker. The technology was used to recreate his character in the film using existing footage and CGI.
However, deepfake technology has also raised concerns due to its potential for misuse. It can be used for defamation or spreading misinformation, which is why it has been banned from several major platforms. Unfortunately, there is currently no strict legal and regulatory framework in India to address these issues.
In conclusion, deepfake technology is a powerful tool that can create realistic and convincing fake videos. While it has its uses in the entertainment industry, it also poses risks in terms of spreading misinformation. It is important for platforms and governments to establish regulations and safeguards to prevent the misuse of this technology.
