The difference between deep fakes and shallow fakes

Deep Fakes |
Shallow Fakes |
| Deep Fakes describe photorealistic and audio-realistic images, video, and audio created or manipulated with artificial intelligence to deceive. | Shallow fakes or cheap fakes are made with existing technologies—for example, a conventional edit on a photo, or slowing down a video to change the speech patterns of an individual, or more often rely on miss-captioning or mis-contextualizing an existing image or video, claiming it is from a time or place which it is not from. |
