The advancement of Artificial Intelligence technology has led to an increase in deepfake and AI-generated content in social media platforms. Creating these AI content has been problematic for social media platforms due to the capability to manipulate users into believing in something that is not real, which is why these technologies pose a threat to society with the potential to create misinformation and fake news.
The objective of this thesis was to inform readers about the capabilities of manipulation techniques and help with detecting a possible use of such techniques on social media platforms. Also, raising awareness of the rapid growth of fake content on social media platforms should lead the users to double-check the source of the content.
This thesis was based on statistics and surveys from external sources, which presented the general idea of how, where, why, and what the AI content was being used for. Also, a few tests are conducted using Convolutional Neural Network model to demonstrate the ability to classify an object based on real and fake images. The outcome of the surveys and statistics was that the AI-generated content has increased exponentially, and awareness globally was less than fifty percent.
The outcome of this study was to raise awareness of the existence of deepfake and AI-generated content and comprehend the capabilities of AI tools and the impact they have on social media platforms.
