Doğası gereği her zaman doğrudan, olumlu ve sağlıklı kurulamayan kişiler arası iletişim, yapay zeka teknolojilerinin de dahil olması ile birlikte değişmeye ve dönüşmeye başlamıştır. Bu değişimin ve dönüşümün iletişimde en belirgin olduğu alan hiç şüphesiz siber şiddettir. Siber şiddet ile ilgili çalışmalar incelendiğinde, bireylerin yüz yüze olan şiddeti sanal ortama taşıdıkları veya tersi olduğu, kişilerin hakaret veya küçük düşürücü davranışlar ile zorbalığı gerçekleştirdiği görülmektedir. Fakat, gelişen yapay zeka teknolojileri ile birlikte artık kişiye yönelik hakaret veya sözlü şiddet olmadan, sadece kişilerin fotoğraf ve sesleri ile oluşturulmuş Deepfake videoları ile tamamen sahte görüntüler üzerinden siber şiddet uygulanmaktadır. Özellikle ünlülere veya siyasetçilere yönelik hazırlanmış intikam videoları ile kişiler zan altında kalmakta, kişilik hakları ve onurları zedelenmektedir. Buradan yola çıkılarak, bu araştırmada, Deepfake teknolojilerinin siber şiddet aracı olarak nasıl kullanıldığı, insan-bilgisayar etkileşimi ve iletişim bağlamında betimleyici bir çerçeve sunularak değerlendirilecektir. KW - Yapay Zeka KW - İletişim KW - Deepfake KW - Siber Şiddet N2 - Artificial Intelligence technologies make individuals’ lives easier, but they have negative effects such as cyber-harassment. Due to its’ nature, communication cannot always be direct, positive and healthy but as a result of pervasiveness of artificial intelligence technologies into interpersonal communication, it has begun to change and transform. There is no doubt that, this change and transformation in communication is significant in cyber-harassment. When studies on cyber harassment are examined, it is seen that individuals pursue face-to-face violence to the digital environment or vice versa, and perpetrators bully others through insults or humiliating behaviors. However, with the rapid development in artificial intelligence technologies, cyber-harassment is now implemented through completely fake images and Deepfake videos created only with people's photos and voices, without insults or verbal violence against to the individuals. Especially with revenge videos and fake videos that target celebrities or politicians, individuals’ dignity and privacy are damaged. Based on those realities about artificial intelligence technologies, in this research, Deepfake Technologies role as weapon of cyber-harassment will be evaluated through descriptive framework in the context of human-computer interaction and communication.
