Abstract

The use of deepfake technology, which is video or image manipulation technology by superimposing the face of a person to the body of another, has become common in the modern days. Where it may be used for proper purposes such as in the entertainment industry, it is usually being abused by the users. Ninety-six percent of the deepfake videos and images are non-consensual pornography, while the others are used for the purpose of fraud, impersonation or misinformation. This caused the victims to suffer from economic loss, reputational loss and emotional loss. However, though there are available remedies for the victims to claim damages from the loss they have suffered, the conduct of misusing deepfake technology itself is not being governed in Malaysia. Hence, this paper seeks to identify the gaps in the protection over the victims of deepfake technology and recommend solutions to the legal issues raised, by referring to the US DEEP FAKES Accountability Act and the UK Online Safety Bill.
