| Abstract | ||
| Deepfake technology is one of the most prominent and dangerous applications of contemporary artificial intelligence, due to its ability to produce false visual or audio content that mimics reality with such accuracy that it is difficult to distinguish between it and the truth. The misuse of this technology has resulted in serious risks to individuals and societies, whether through harming reputation and personal standing, violating their right to privacy, misleading public opinion, or undermining confidence in information and the digital space. Based on this, this research addresses the issue of civil liability arising from damages caused by this technology, attempting to demonstrate the extent to which the general rules of civil liability encompass this emerging phenomenon. This includes contractual liability, when damage occurs within a contractual relationship, and tort liability, when damage occurs outside the scope of the contract. It also examines the possibility of implementing objective liability rules as an alternative solution by holding the entity providing or developing the technology responsible, given the exceptional risks posed by the technology and the difficulty of identifying the perpetrator or proving error. It also examines the most prominent challenges facing the application of general rules of civil liability to damages caused by this technology. The study concludes that civil liability and the resulting compensation represent the cornerstone of redressing damages resulting from deepfake technology. However, it requires legislative and judicial development that reflects the unique nature of this technology and ensures a balance between protecting rights and encouraging innovation. | ||
