Deepfake Media Generation and Detection in the Generative AI Era: A Survey and Outlook

This survey article examines how generative AI (machine learning models that can create new content) is being used to produce deepfakes (synthetic media where a person's face or voice is digitally manipulated to appear authentic) and discusses methods to detect them. The paper reviews current techniques for both creating and identifying deepfakes, and considers future challenges in an era where AI-generated content is becoming increasingly sophisticated and difficult to distinguish from real media.
