Deepfake — Glossary
Synthetic media that convincingly depicts people saying or doing things they did not.
Full definition
Deepfakes may involve faces, voices, or full scenes produced by generative models. Creative industries use related tools with consent; attackers use them for fraud and harassment.
Detectors help but produce false positives and false negatives. High-stakes verification should use out-of-band checks, not media alone.
