What is Deepfake?

Deepfake technology is a video or photo created with the help of AI (Artificial Intelligence), in which a person's face is pasted exactly on another person's body or video. It is often used for illegal or pornographic purposes, which threatens the dignity and privacy of the victim. It is noteworthy that the dangers of Deepfake Porn have also been shown in a recently released Hindi film 'Loveyapa'. Under the new law, posting content related to Deepfake or Revenge Porn will now be a crime, and anyone doing so may face jail, fine or both.
