What must marketers be aware of with regard to deepfakes on video?

Jun 10, 2023

If you've heard about "deepfake," you might immediately be thinking of scams, morally questionable as well as disturbing video clips which circulated across the web over these past couple of years. As fakes - and the AI technology that makes them remain in development, it is essential that marketers as well as creators from every field be aware of their operations and what they can do in order to keep up with the ever-changing environment.

If you're not familiar, Deepfakes can be described as fake content that has changed digitally in order to give the appearance of real. They can create videos that appear to be real, but don't. That's the reason why you often get negative rap for spreading inaccurate information, and exploiting the appearances of people.

As with any technology but, the key is the method you employ it. Innovative marketers and designers use deepfake technology legally and responsible ethically and legallyto create new types of artwork and present brand new narratives in addition to improving their marketing videos.

In this piece we'll examine some examples of how deepfake technology can be used to serve great effect and for useful reasons, along with suggestions about ways you can experiment with it yourself.

What's an authentic fake deepfake?

A deepfake is a movie or an audio recording of a person whose appearance or body has been altered digitally. Deepfakes employ AI to create likenesses using patterns that identify facial appearance motion, tone and facial expression.

Some other definitions for a deepfake can include synthetic or artificial media or artificially-generated content.

The development of Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) began the trend towards realistic fakes in the year 2014. GANs consist of two artificial intelligence systems, that create fake images, and identify counterfeits, which allows the AI to evolve over time.

Additionally, it is possible to develop them by using an advanced computer network, which is also referred to as a variable auto-encoder (VAE). VAEs are trained to encode pictures in low-dimensional representations of the subject. They then translate those representations into images that move.

The term "deepfake" wasn't invented until 2017 and in the course of 2017, media massed raised the alarm about fakes for the first time. The start was a viral fake video featuring Barack Obama and Donald Trump that was shared across social media platforms.

However, deepfakes have additional applications that are increasingly important to marketers of all kinds and not only hackers or Internet trolling sites that try to disseminate misleading information.

What is the impact from fake deepfakes?

Machine Learning AI is an essential component in creating an authentic fake. Deepfakes depend on this kind of technology that can detect patterns in the data and images.

To make a fake, deepfake video, an artist has to feed the machine learning algorithm an array of actual footage, which then trains the deep neural network in order to detect certain patterns which are evident in the facial expressions of people, their tone, as well as various other. The next step is combining the learned patterns with pictures.

It's not hard to come up with an imitation. All you need is the existing video or audio of the person who you'd like to emulate. Although it may seem daunting at first to make fakes, they don't need complicated tools. All you require is basic knowledge of graphic design, along with the capability to edit video.

Examples of artful video deepfakes

Marketers are in the initial process of utilizing deepfakes and other AI techniques to create video content and digital marketing. The following deepfake examples don't belong included in the toolkit for marketing yet However, they show the possibilities of these AI techniques right now.

   1. Chris Shimojima's "Dolche Big Man" by Chris Shimojima"

The stunning Staff Picked music video from the filmmaker Chris Shimojima takes deepfake technology and turns it on its head. It features voices from a variety of performers (and 40 contributing artists) within a single narrative. It's an amazing mix of technology and human voices.

   2. David Beckham's many different

Malaria must die used AI to influence soccer superstar David Beckham to speak in nine languages. The team employed false technology to create a massive impact and significantly increase the campaign' impact.

   3. Salvador Dali's museum greeting

It took more than 1000 hours of machine learning let museum goers to the Dali museumMuseum to design their model of Salvador Dali flawlessly. This technology offers museum visitors with the chance to view objects from a different perspective and allows them to gain knowledge about art directly by the creator of the work!

The three most commonly used techniques for using deepfake technology to create video

Some of the applications for using deepfakes might be far beyond the capabilities of a typical marketer However, there's a variety of inventive and innovative ways to apply the technology of deepfakes to improve your job.

  • Lines that are not appropriate in a text: If you've had any editing expertise and know about the difficulties and hassles involved in editing audio recordings taken of an interview. If your interviewee said a false phrase or didn't respond to the entire length of an entire sentence, or perhaps the full length of a sentence using technology like deepfake to fill in the spaces can be a great way to keep your post workflow flowing smoothly, with no need to reshoot. (Just be sure to get permission from the subject prior to doing this!)
       
  • Videos that you can customize for your customers in a huge number of marketers can make use of simple personalization for sending videos or video messages for promotional purposes that contain customers' names as well as the names of their companies. You only need their names and a bit of audio recordings from your camera for the deepfake technology to include the details in every video.
       
  • Transform your videos Deepfake technology will open an completely new world that is easy to translate. Instead of subtitles, AI can add the voice of the person speaking, as well as audio that has been translated or even created with an audio bank or the voice of the person recording it.

New technology, opportunities for the development of new technologies

We're not sure what future generations of AI will provide however, one thing is sure deepfakes won't disappear. Much like other AI-powered tech (chatGPT perhaps? ) Anyone who is willing to experiment with deepfakes while keeping their eyes wide open to potential errors will become successful in the constantly changing scene of video.
