Some deepfake examples are incredibly convincing. They display how deep learning technology could transform pipelines for 3D artists and filmmakers, and seriously cut down manual editing time. There are even examples of deepfakes on YouTube that better the original CGI footage used in films, like the re-remastered Princess Leia featured on this list. However, there is growing concern over how the technology could be abused to create realistic doctored videos that serve a negative purpose.
Deepfakes now appear in many movies (for example, in some of our favourite 3D movies), and they are becoming more part of the mainstream process. Here, we look at 10 of the most famous deepfakes. But first, here is a little more info on what deepfakes are.
What are deepfakes?
Deepfakes are so-named because they use deep learning technology, a branch of machine learning that applies neural net simulation to massive data sets, to create a fake. Artificial intelligence effectively learns what a source face looks like at different angles in order to transpose the face onto a target, usually an actor, as if it were a mask. Huge advances came through the application of generative adversarial networks (GANS) to pit two AI algorithms against each other, one creating the fakes and the other grading its efforts, teaching the synthesis engine to make better forgeries.
Hollywood has transposed real or fictional faces onto other actors, for example, bringing Peter Cushing back to life in 2016’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, but the technique used complex, expensive pipelines and face-mounted cameras.
