The impact of AI and deepfake these days, that it has enabled digital manipulation to create or alter images, videos and audio fragments which are near to indistinguishable from the real ones and used for impersonation and clickbait. It raises serious privacy concerns due to the exploitation and manipulation of personal data and images.
