Deepfakes refer to AI-generated visual content, whether images or videos, capable of depicting events or statements that never took place. Utilizing machine learning and face-swapping technologies, certain applications produce these deceptive creations by overlaying one individual's image onto another's. The outcome typically appears remarkably realistic and challenging to discern as artificial or manipulated. Circulation of any such video online is a strict offence under Cyber laws.
