Journal: Modern Economics & Management Forum DOI: 10.32629/memf.v6i2.3805
Abstract
With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technologies, deepfake technology, a highly realistic audio and video manipulation tool, is gradually infiltrating various sectors of society, including the government sector. Government transparency is a crucial prerequisite for ensuring citizens' rights to information, participation, and supervision. It helps enhance government credibility and effectiveness, promoting the modernization of governance. The emergence of deepfake technology challenges the authenticity of information and has a profound impact on government transparency. This paper explores the impact of deepfake technology on government transparency from a policy perspective and offers corresponding policy recommendations. First, the characteristics of deepfake technology are outlined. Second, the paper provides a comprehensive analysis of its impact on government transparency. Finally, strategies are proposed to address these challenges, including strengthening laws and regulations and improving public media literacy.
