Abstract

This chapter concentrates on unsupervised learning, the recent rise of deepfakes, the potential role of copyright and related rights, exceptions and limitations therein, and personality rights to ensure a balanced application of the technology. Using inter-disciplinary insights from law and the technical literature, this chapter takes a holistic view on the uptake, adoption, and the future of deepfakes. Considering the centrality of personality rights to deepfakes, this chapter also explores the potential foundations of an EU-wide personality rights framework. It crucially examines the future acceptance of deepfakes, and considers the potential role of the blockchain technology to prevent the apocalypse of a potential infodemic following the widespread prevalence of deepfakes.
