Kelley Drye Ad Law Access Podcast · Deepfake Best Practices Amid Developing Legal Practices

Deepfake technology has significantly improved over the past few years, allowing for mainstream commercial uses. Deepfake technology is the use of synthetic image, video, or audio. While there are good uses such as protecting the identities of whistleblowers or victims and bad uses such as non-consensual pornography and elder fraud, the advertising industry is already demonstrating how synthetic media has great potential as a tool for advertisers.
