Through real-world case studies and cutting-edge research, this book unpacks how deepfakes are crafted, how they can be detected, and the monumental challenge of regulating their use in an interconnected digital world. But beyond the dangers, Deepfake Technology also explores the constructive uses of this powerful tool, asking thought-provoking questions about its potential to revolutionize fields like entertainment, education, and healthcare. What safeguards can be put in place to prevent abuse? How can society navigate the ethical minefield of creating AI-driven synthetic media? And most importantly-what happens when the lines between reality and deception blur beyond recognition? For tech enthusiasts, industry leaders, and anyone concerned about the future of truth in the digital age, this book provides an engaging, informative, and eye-opening journey into the shadowy world of AI and manipulation.
