Abstract

ABSTRACTDeepfakes are AI‐generated multimedia that convincingly graft or replace one person's likeness onto another, resulting in remarkably realistic yet fabricated content. These sophisticated manipulations challenge users' ability to discern factual visual information as they portray individuals engaging in actions and uttering words that never occurred. This research takes a unique approach by delving into the perspective of deepfake creators through the analysis of 15 tutorial videos on YouTube. By examining creators' information‐sharing practices, this study aims to identify creators' motivations for disseminating knowledge on deepfake creation and their understanding or lack of understanding of the ethical implications of sharing such information. Achieving such an understanding can play a vital role in informing the development of regulatory measures. By examining creators' intentions and comprehending their societal impact, patterns, and characteristics, this research can contribute to the creation of effective detection technologies and strengthen content platform guidelines. Analyzing deepfake creation tutorials can facilitate the implementation of targeted and comprehensive regulatory measures, enhancing protection against potential risks and misuse.
