Identity Deepfake (Face Swap & Talking Head)
One scraped photo or a three-second clip is enough to become someone else
Architecture introduced 20 May 2019
This system takes a single photo or a short clip of a person — scraped from a social profile, a press shot, a video call — and turns it into a convincing fake of them. One part captures a 'faceprint' from the reference; another pastes that face onto a target's head; a motion part makes it move as video; and an audio path clones the voice so the fake can talk and lip-sync. The only thing standing between 'a public photo' and 'a video of you saying something you never said' is a consent check that is usually missing.

It starts with a request — 'make this person say or do this' — plus a photo or clip of someone scraped from the open web. The target almost never knows.
