Top 10 Deepfake websites and apps

Okay, so we haven't reached the level of sci-fi AIs like HAL, Skynet ou Ultron (and hopefully it never gets to that point), but Artificial Intelligence technology is advancing in a surprising way, precisely in the most unusual features. However, one of the most controversial uses of AI today is in the world of Deepfake, a technology that allows you to replace people's faces with other faces and create a video animation with speech and gestures as if it were real.

A Deepfake has become such a popular form of AI use that it has already invaded the world of applications and, in this article, we will explore the 10 best deepfake apps that make use of this revolutionary and controversial technology that is capable of reviving even the dead!

What is Deepfake?

Deepfake is a mixture of the term Deep Learning (“Deep Learning”, in Portuguese) and Fake (“Falsidade”, in Portuguese) that refers to any video or image in which a face is replaced by the face of other people. This technique uses deep learning to change faces or voices and create believable results. THE deep learning is one of the branches of Machine Learning of Artificial Intelligence based on the representation of data that allows the creation of algorithms that "learn" to identify patterns and structures from an immense set of data.

Unfortunately, the most common use of technology Deepfake is the production of morally reprehensible content such as fake news, pornography, among others. As it is a recent technological innovation, there is still no specific legislation to protect it. The Brazilian Chamber of Deputies has already approved a bill that criminalizes the practice of deepfake in Brazil, banning the use of technology to create fake intimate videos or images of people. Despite this, there is still a need to create legislation that meets our requirements of the Digital Law. 

Controversies aside, technology deepfake has become so popular that the algorithms and bots used to produce this digital content have even invaded the world of applications.
