Abstract

Deepfake technology uses artificial intelligence (AI) to manipulate audio or video to create a false but realistic video of individuals doing or saying things they did not actually do or say. For example, a person’s face can be swapped with another’s, and lip syncing can be added. Machine learning and sophisticated technical tools have made deepfakes relatively easy to create and increasingly commonplace in recent years, creating an impetus for new legislation. Most states have general criminal impersonation laws enacted prior to the internet, such as laws making it illegal to impersonate a lawyer, doctor or government official. Potentially, these laws could apply to all types of media, including online communications and videos.
