Abstract

Recently deepfake have become the most popular. Although it has also positive uses in many industries, it is a big threat to societies. So, concerns remain over the dark side of this technology. Since there are few studies evaluating different aspects of deep fakes& their benefits, threats, and methods to combat this technology. We tried to provide a complete overview of deepfake detection methods, the opportunities & threats of this technology. We performed a systematic search using the keywords in the online databases including PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, and Web of Science. All the related papers and documents published in English were retrieved from 2015 through July 2021. Our search strategy included several combinations of keywords including: “Deep fake”, “fake reality”, “artificial intelligence”, Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN), “Videos”, and “programming. A review of studies showed that entertainment was the most mentioned use of deepfake technology. According to the findings, creating non-consensual pornography and threat to privacy and democracy was significant in the menace category. Also uses for malicious purposes, the spread of false information and manipulated news and, the threat to social security were the other mentioned threats in several articles. Deepfakes are new technologies and they are still developing. We have found in our added studies that deepfake has good potential for improvement and helping. Besides its various opportunities, we know that it can be pretty much harmful. It's mostly used in Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR). © 2022 IADIS Press. All rights reserved.
