In conclusion, the rise of deepfakes is a worrying trend that has serious implications for society. The ability to create convincing images and videos of events that never occurred has already been exploited by hoaxers, and there is a risk that deepfakes could be used to manipulate public opinion, spread fear and panic, and erode trust in the media. To combat this issue, there is a need for increased awareness, investment in research and development, and regulation of deepfakes. With the right approach, it may be possible to mitigate the impact of deepfakes and prevent them from eroding democracy and public trust.
