Abstract

Este artículo realiza un análisis del impacto de los deepfakes en el marco de los procesos democráticos, enfocándose en cómo estas sofisticadas manipulaciones digitales pueden erosionar la confianza pública, interferir en elecciones y generar polarización. Se estudia la progresión de las ultra falsificaciones desde su creación hasta alcanzar un alto grado de sofisticación, destacando cómo los avances en tecnología de inteligencia artificial han potenciado su realismo y complicado su detección. Se hará alusión a varios casos en Francia y Colombia, con el ánimo de examinar las repercusiones adversas de los deepfakes en la representación política y la percepción por parte del público en general. El documento propone la adopción de marcos regulatorios y medidas que trasciendan las medidas punitivas tradicionales, abogando por estrategias preventivas y la promoción de la transparencia en el empleo de tecnologías de inteligencia artificial. Esta aproximación puede ayudar a promover los valores democráticos y un uso responsable de la IA.
