인공지능 딥페이크와 인권 그리고 헌법적 구제

Deepfakes are not simply editing photos or imitating voices. They are the product of advanced AI algorithms that analyze and synthesize massive amounts of data to create new data in visual and auditory formats. In the case of videos, these algorithms seamlessly blend manipulated elements with real footage, making it difficult for viewers to tell whether what they see and hear is real. The negative effects of deepfake are highlighted in terms of social harm, such as the spread of false and manipulated information, revenge porn, and fraudulent advertising. Because they cause psychological, financial, and social damage to citizens, have a profound impact on human rights violations across borders, and cause harm to basic rights at the national level, each country is strengthening the protection of basic rights through regulations on online platforms that mediate AI deepfake technology, laws on personal information and defamation, etc. The misuse of deepfake technology from a constitutional perspective, can pose a serious threat to basic rights such as human dignity and value, freedom of expression and protection of personal information, personal privacy and honor, the right to a fair trial, equality and prohibition of discrimination, and consumer rights. To address these issues, a holistic approach is needed that integrates technological advancements to detect and respond to the misuse of deepfake, the establishment of an appropriate legal regulatory framework based on recognizing and protecting constitutional rights related to AI deepfake technology, strengthening the responsibilities and legal liability of online platform operators as gatekeepers to block the distribution of harmful content and protect digital safety, building international partnerships, and public education for the general public. By actively responding to the misuse of deepfake technology, we must ensure that our society upholds human rights principles and preserves democratic values ​​in the age of AI.
