Digital Manipulation 'Deepfake' Technology and the Believability of What Doesn't Exist; Impact on Nursing Education

The combination of the words deep and fake is called deepfake in the literature as deep learning. Deepfakes, which have recently become more widely known as a result of the shocking images and sound recordings of many people, from politicians to famous movie stars, are generally hyperrealistic videos in which people's faces and voices are used by other faces and voices without permission and manipulated digitally. Deepfakes rely on neural networks that analyze large data samples to learn to mimic a person's facial expressions, mannerisms, voice and tone. The process involves feeding a deep learning algorithm to exchange images of two people or faces.
