Description

Introduction 

As generative AI continues to advance, deepfake technology has emerged as a significant threat, enabling the creation of hyper-realistic but misleading videos, images, and audio. This course is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of deepfake technology, its potential risks, and the strategies required for detecting and preventing its misuse. Participants will explore the mechanics behind deepfake creation, learn about the ethical implications, and gain hands-on experience with tools and techniques to identify and mitigate deepfake threats in various applications.

Prerequisites:

• Basic knowledge of artificial intelligence and machine learning concepts
• Familiarity with programming languages such as Python
• Understanding of computer vision fundamentals
• Experience with deep learning frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch) is recommended but not required
