Exploring Deepfakes and Effective Prevention Strategies: A Critical Review
Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2025, Vol 33, Issue 1
Abstract
Deepfake technology, powered by artificial intelligence and deep learning, has rapidly advanced, enabling the creation of highly realistic synthetic media. While it presents opportunities in entertainment and creative applications, deepfakes pose significant risks, including misinformation, identity fraud, and threats to privacy and national security. This study explores the evolution of deepfake technology, its implications, and current detection techniques. Existing methods for deepfake detection, such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), and generative adversarial networks (GANs), are examined, highlighting their effectiveness and limitations. The study also reviews state-of-the-art approaches in image forensics, phoneme-viseme mismatch detection, and adversarial training to counter deepfake threats. Moreover, the ethical and legal challenges surrounding deepfakes are discussed, emphasizing the need for policy regulations and collaborative efforts between governments, tech companies, and researchers. As deepfake technology continues to evolve, so must detection strategies, integrating multimodal analysis and real-time verification systems. This research underscores the importance of developing robust detection frameworks and public awareness initiatives to mitigate the risks associated with deepfakes. Future directions include enhancing detection algorithms through explainable AI, improving dataset quality, and integrating blockchain for digital content authentication. By providing a comprehensive analysis of deepfake creation, detection, and countermeasures, this study contributes to the ongoing discourse on synthetic media and its societal impact. Addressing these challenges requires interdisciplinary collaboration and continuous innovation to safeguard digital integrity and trust in the information ecosystem.
