South Korea: an epidemic of “deepfakes” rages before the elections. These misleading videos using artificial intelligence to create false narratives from real images spread very quickly.

A real scourge that institutions are trying to combat. South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol is the subject of misappropriation and fake news as the presidential election approaches. The authors of this type of video face up to seven years in prison and a fine of 38,000 euros for defamation and unrest in elections.
