ABSTRACT:

The rapid increase in synthetic media produced or manipulated by Artificial Intelligence such as deepfakes, AI crafted images or voices, marks the beginning of a new chapter in creativity and communication. While these technological advancements bring new possibilities and opportunities in fields like entertainment and education, they also bring forward many new problems. There is an increased risk of misuse of such technologies through activities like spreading of misinformation, identity theft and fake or AI generated content. The misuse of synthetic media can also lead to cybercrimes like evidence manipulation which may affect the proper delivery of justice in cases. All this emphasizes the necessity for stricter laws and effective rules to safeguard against such threats. This research focuses on the development of synthetic media and its impact on society and also the moral dilemmas it creates. It also demonstrates the importance of regulations to manage risks and promote advancements in this field. By providing innovative solutions to the challenges, this research aims to support a balanced approach that increases the benefits of synthetic media while limiting any negative consequences.
