What happens when we can no longer believe what we see? Show the AI
technologies that create deepfakes enough images of a celebrity or a
politician and they will generate a convincing video in which that
person appears to say and do things they have never actually said or
done. The result is a media environment in which anyone’s face and
image can be remixed and manipulated.
Graham Meikle explains how deepfakes (synthetic media) are made and
used. From celebrity porn and political satire to movie mash-ups and
disinformation campaigns, this book explores themes of trust and
consent as face-swapping software becomes more common. Meikle argues
that deepfake videos allow for a new perspective on the
taken-for-granted nature of contemporary media, in which our capacity
to remix and share content increasingly conflicts with our capacity to
trust. The book analyses how such videos deepen the social media
environment in which the public and the personal converge, and in
which all human experience becomes data to be shared.
Timely, clear, and accessibly written, this is an essential text for
students and scholars of media, communication, cultural studies, and
sociology as well as general readers.
