NEW: A new deepfake tool will let you transform in real-time while using programs such as Skype & Zoom.

I talked with creators & experts on how the tool is already being used on streaming sites and how the technology could be abused.

For those wondering, the person above is using a faceset of actress Margot Robbie. Users can also load in other facesets that are already widely-available in the deepfake community.

A new deepfake tool will let users change their appearance in real-time during live video streams—opening up a range of new possibilities for the contentious technology.

Known as DeepFaceLive, the open-source tool, released last month on the code-hosting platform Github, allows users to place another face over their own while using video messaging programs such as Skype and Zoom.

DeepFaceLive’s creator, a secretive Russian developer known online as Iperov, first shared footage of the tool’s interface to a deepfake forum in late April. Iperov is also credited as one of the main developers of DeepFaceLab, the most widely used open-source tool for creating deepfakes.

Available for Windows 10, DeepFaceLive works by utilizing the very same datasets of celebrity faces that are already used to create deepfake videos.
