Deep-Fake is a technology that AI learns on its own based on certain data and synthesizes "natural faces". The technology is also used as lively data by restoring the faces of historical figures in the past, but more than 90 percent of Deep-Fake is said to be found in videos of celebrity faces synthesized on pornographic pages.
According to a 2019 report on Deep-Fake, 96 percent of Deep-Fake videos were pornographic videos, and 25 percent of the victims of the video were Korean celebrities. Moreover, it turned out to be still valid. It was easy to find a site where Deep-Fake videos of Korean celebrities were uploaded. A reporter who covered Deep-Fake said that she is an idol who debuted at the end of last year, and a compound of Deep-Fake has already come out two or three months after her debut. If they debut today, they can release a deep-fake video tomorrow. A site dealing with Deep-Fake videos of celebrities frowned upon the fact that the video was fake and posted a notice to be used only for "entertainment" and "educational" purposes.
Currently, Deep-Fake has a serious level of damage in that its abuse has expanded to the level of damage is serious. Deep-Fake sex crimes against ordinary people are carried out by taking photos of others posted on social media without consent and synthesizing faces into pornographic videos, which lead to double criminal acts of threatening to distribute the videos if they are not paid. The aspect of not only producing and distributing sexual exploitation materials with other people's photos, but also threatening victims based on these facts, is similar to the operation of "Nth room".
Deep-Fake technology can be used in a good enough place. In fact, when producing documentaries about sexual minorities in foreign countries, they protected their identity with Deep-Fake, and we can expect the effect of spreading Korean culture by producing videos with famous Korean celebrities. However, what is important is what we need in an era when technology is developing that is difficult to distinguish between real and virtual? As a person who believes in rights and ethics, I think there is a human value in being able to think about and judge "right things."
