Criminal, legal and forensic aspects of countering the spread and use of deepfakes in the Russian Federation

The uncontrolled dissemination and use of artificial intelligence technologies, the potential and real threats they pose, are the impetus for a scientific discussion on individual bans on certain artificial intelligence technologies. A restrained system of control will allow the state to regulate legal relations in the sphere of distribution and use of generative content without losing the pace of technological development. In this regard, the article considers the issues of the need to develop mechanisms of legal regulation of diphake technologies in criminal-legal and criminalistic aspects. The author's definition of the term "dipfake" is proposed, the need for its normative consolidation is substantiated. Taking into account the need for regulatory control over the dissemination and use of dipfakes, the criteria for differentiation of dipfakes and generative content are considered.
