Deep-Live-Cam: The Deepfake Tool That's Taking GitHub by Storm

Deep-Live-Cam, a deepfake tool that can turn photos into live video streams, has become the most popular repository for developers to download on GitHub. The tool is built in Python and can be easily modified and potentially implemented into applications for phones and other devices. The rising popularity of deepfakes is a security concern as it pertains to individuals' and businesses' rights, with generative AI fraud expected to cost the US over $40 billion annually by 2027. However, deepfakes are difficult to detect, making them appealing for use in scams, and ethical considerations for the tool have been raised by other developers.
