Deepfake content is defined as manipulated, synthetic or falsified audio or visual media that seem authentic, and which feature people that appear to say or do something they have never said or done, produced using artificial intelligence techniques. Deep fakes can best be understood as a subset of a broader category of AI-generated ‘synthetic media’, which not only includes video and audio but also photos and text.
