In conclusion, its predominately shown that deep fakes have been used for malicious intent, despite the positives it so actively can be manipulated for unethical purposes. Its commonly shown to be used for harm to an individual, usually a political figure or celebrity from Donald Trump to Obama. Due to the harmful misuse, deep fakes are generally associated with a negative connotation. Deep fakes throughout recent years have led to mass misinformation and have led everyone to continually question the validity of the source no matter how realistic it may seem. Throughout the examination of the research, It can be concluded that in its recent upcoming it still poses a threat and has not been effectively handled despite any reform actions taking place. If no further action is taken the utilization of social media might end abruptly as videos, photos become impossible to distinguish between authentic or false. According to “What if AI made actors immortal?: Performance anxiety” Its highly possible, for example even Gal Gadot a famous Israeli actor was depicted in a deep fake adult film which she had no connection with, but through the extensive images of her online, AI was primarily able to analyze all her facial movements and positions to compile a realistic-looking video accurately. As stated before the more images the AI has to interpret the better the output quality of the final deep fake video. Finally, Consumers should take away and be made aware of the direct consequences of having vulnerable images, videos, & audio online.
