Definition: deepfake
(DEEP learning FAKE) Creating a phony video that looks real. With the increasing advancements in computer performance and AI techniques, face swap software superimposes a face onto the face of someone else in a video. The result is that anybody can be made to look like they love or hate anything. The video can be produced entirely by using actors, whose faces are replaced with a celebrity such as a movie star, politician or news anchor, and it appears very real to the casual viewer. See face swapping and FaceApp.
Serious Future Implications
As deepfake video techniques improve, there are ominous implications for the future. Videos are highly persuasive when they "supposedly" come from prominent people. Although computer analysis can likely determine a fake video even as they get more realistic, that detection is after the fact and after the damage is done.

At the press reception in the HumanX AI conference in Las Vegas in 2025, journalists were given paddles to hold up as pairs of images were displayed on screen. It was not easy to tell which images were real. See HumanX.
