Abstract

Son dönemde sosyal medyada viral olan pek çok paylaşımda yer alan deepfake teknolojisinde olduğu gibi, yapay zekanın ve bilgisayar teknolojisinin geldiği son noktayı gözler önüne seren dijital görüntü oluşturma teknolojileri, gerçekte orada olmayan veya gerçek bir kişi bile olmayan ve dahası artık hayatta olmayan bir kişinin yeniden hayat bulmasını sağlayabilmektedir. Sosyal medya ve internet içeriklerinde kullanımı daha yeni gündeme gelmiş olsa da film endüstrisinde uzun zamandır kendisine yer bulan deepfake ya da dijital görüntü oluşturma teknolojileri, yaşlanmış oyuncuların gençleştirilmesinde, ölmüş oyuncuların hayata döndürülmesinde, gerçek haber görüntülerinin manipüle edilmesinde film üretiminin hizmetinde olmuştur.
Bu bakımdan bu makalede, dijital görüntü oluşturma teknolojilerinin film üretimindeki iki temel ve yaygın kullanım biçimi olan dijital gençleştirme ve hayata döndürme özelliği merkeze alınarak dijital görüntü oluşturma teknolojileri yoluyla yaratılan dijital varlıkların film endüstrisine yaptığı-yapabileceği olumlu katkılar yanında teknolojinin beraberinde getirdiği birçok endişeyi ve bir dizi etik sorunu tartışmaya açmak amaçlanmaktadır.

DIGITAL BEINGS OF THE DIGITAL WORLD: DIGITAL FACES AND DEEPFAKE IN FILM PRODUCTION

Abstract

As with deepfake technology, which has recently been in many viral posts on social media, digital image technologies reveal the latest point of artificial intelligence and computer technology. Digital imaging technologies can bring a person who is not there or not even a real person and no longer alive to be brought back to life. Although the use of deepfake or digital imaging technologies in social media and internet content has only recently come to the fore, it has been in the film industry for a long time. This technology has served film production to rejuvenate aged actors, resurrect dead actors, and manipulate actual news footage.
In this regard, this article will focus on de-aging and revitalization, which are the two primary and common uses of digital imaging technologies in film production. Thus, in addition to the positive contributions of digital beings created through digital image creation technologies to the film industry, it is aimed to discuss many concerns and a series of ethical problems brought about by technology.
