It is an audiovisual content (video or audio) falsified with hyperrealism using advanced Artificial Intelligence (Deep Learning).

Mainly Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), which pit two AIs against each other to perfect the forgery.

No. Voice cloning (deepfake audio) is a key threat, often used in corporate fraud (voice hacking).

The creation of Non-Consensual Pornography (NCP), which disproportionately affects women and causes irreversible harm.

Facial rigidity, irregular (abnormal) blinking, or shadows and lights inconsistent with the environment.

The desynchronization between lip movement and sound, or a voice tone that sounds monotonous or robotic.

Not always. That's why it's vital to rely on skepticism and verify the source, not just the content.

These are AI algorithms specifically trained to find the digital ''fingerprints'' that the Deepfake leaves in the code.

It is the use of immutable records (metadata) to certify that a file is original and has not been altered.

Media literacy and the commitment not to share content without first verifying it with fact-checkers.
