A video made using deepfake technology is now widely circulating on the internet. Hollywood actresses Scarlett Johansson and Elizabeth Olsen appear in the video with identical expressions. One of these actresses is real and the other is deepfake. What makes the video so popular is that you can’t tell which is fake at first glance.
Scarlett Johansson and Elizabeth Olsen appear in the video wearing similar hairstyles and clothes. Both are identical in facial expressions and movements. Behaving in a completely automatic analogy, some of them had to sit down and find out which one was fake. But it is not easy for those who watch this video without knowing that it is a deepfake video to identify the fraud.
Some people have noticed the lighting defects in Scarlett Johnson’s video, the changes in Scarlett’s neck while speaking, and the problems with her eyebrows. That’s how the fake made by Deepfake was identified as Scarlett. Deepfake was discovered by Ian Goodfellow in 2014. Ian Goodfellow was the director of machine learning in Apple’s special projects group at the time. The name DeepFake was created by combining the words Deep Learning and Fake. The method consists of collecting images and videos of individuals from various angles and creating fake videos of them. During the American presidential election, the accusation that fake videos could be made by Deepfake got a lot of publicity.

Many people have also made interesting videos in this way. In March 2021, Tom Cruise showing magic, playing golf and recalling meeting the President of the Soviet Union on Tik Tok was viral. Deepfake Tom Cruise demonstrated the magic of making a coin in hand disappear. Deepfake videos like these make you laugh and think at the same time. Deepfake also warns that many of the scenes we will see on social media tomorrow may be created using artificial intelligence.
With the help of artificial intelligence, deepfake videos are being made by replacing the faces of the people in the pornographic videos with the faces of celebrities. They make deep fake videos using images with various facial expressions that can be found just by searching on Google. Such deep fake videos of Hollywood star Taylor Swift and Prince Harry’s girlfriend Meghan Markle were circulated.
