Abstract
The thesis aims to explore the positive applications of Deepfake through ethical guidelines. However, the primary use of Deepfake has created a stigma around the term, which overshadows the potential opportunities the technology may offer. A combination of online ethnography and interviews, conducted within the framework of postphenomenology and ethical principles, suggests that fear and concerns exist among social media users. It is important to regulate and restrict the use of Deepfake technology to ensure the safety of social media users. The findings emphasize a deeper insight into the relationship between Deepfake technology and human-world interactions—insight that could improve technical mediation and thereby enable future implementations of Deepfake technology across various fields.
