Synthetic media

Common card · No. 401132

Synthetic media is digital content in various media formats, including text, image, and video, which has been automatically and artificially produced or manipulated. Although not all synthetic media is generated by artificial intelligence (AI), it often refers to the use of generative AI (GenAI) to produce content, such as deepfakes, through the use of AI within a set of human-prompted parameters. Synthetic media as a field has grown rapidly since the creation of generative adversarial networks (GANs), primarily through the rise of deepfakes as well as music synthesis, text generation, human image synthesis, speech synthesis, and more. Though experts use the term "synthetic media," individual methods such as deepfakes and text synthesis are sometimes not referred to as such by the media but instead by their respective terminology (and often use "deepfakes" as a euphemism, e.g., "deepfakes for text" for natural-language generation; "deepfakes for voices" for neural voice cloning, etc.)...
