This work is based on a hypothetical application designed by Novak. When a person uploads a video, the software adds a hidden layer of digital noise that remains completely invisible to the human eye. If an artificial intelligence program tries to use this protected footage to generate a deepfake, the hidden layer forces the AI to mathematically collapse, scrambling the final video into an unusable mess. This animation displays each step of this defence process, from the initial upload through to the final system failure.
