I think some socially positive use cases could be:
- Representing assistive robots/software with friendly human faces
- Reconstructing the likeness of people with permanent facial injuries when connecting with family
Other, questionably "legitimate", commercial uses are already in production:
- auto-generated corporate training videos
- "Personalized" advertising
I'm hating it already.
- kefka_p 4y ago#2 sounds really interesting! I’m not sure of the psychological ramifications, but I can’t imagine they’d be different than any other sort of prosthesis save for an inability to actually touch it. I could see it being used in AR to conceal identity to facilitate more equitable medical outcomes, I suppose. Thank you again for the input! I was honestly at a loss for positive applications outside of financial gain. I haven’t seen any ads driven by deepfake, or at least I don’t think I have. That advertising bit does sound rather obnoxious though!
- praash 4y agoThanks for encouraging productive discussion! Your original question made me come up with #2 - I couldn't find active development on that specific concept, but I found something pretty amazing. "Deepfake therapy" lets therapists simulate the presence of dead or non-cooperative people [1]. A study showed positive results when sexual violence victims could safely discuss with a deepfaked version of their abuser [2].
