DEEPFAKES 

...are synthetic media in which a person in an existing image or video is replaced with someone else's likeness. While the act of faking content is not new, deepfakes leverage powerful techniques from machine learning and artificial intelligence to manipulate or generate visual & audio content with a high potential to deceive. This workshop will teach you how deepfakes are created, what they can be used for, and how they create challenges in the cybersecurity world.
