Deep fake is not new and isn't restricted just to India.
It is a global menace that has targeted and haunted key personalities like the former US president Barack Obama, Mark Zuckerberg and Fox News personality Jesse Watters, CBC host lan Hanomansing, and BBC stars Matthew Amroliwala and Sally Bundock. The deep fake videos of Barack Obama showed him calling Donald Trump a "complete dipshit", while Mark Zuckerberg bragged about having "total control of billions of people's stolen data".

These videos are created through encoder and decoder networks, often within Generative Adversarial Networks and can be used to spread disinformation, defame individuals, and influence public opinion.
