Abstract
In the 21st century, the intensive development of artificial intelligence (AI) and synthetic media (deepfake) has led to a systemic crisis of the reliability of public information. The paper analyzes the technological, ethical and, above all, legal dimensions of this problem. Special attention is paid to the gaps in the current legislation of Georgia in terms of controlling Deepfake and algorithmic manipulation. The model of the European Union Digital Services Act (DSA) is discussed as a potential framework for regulating the liability of platforms. The research presents integrated recommendations, which include the adoption of special legislation, strengthening media literacy and adapting technological identification mechanisms to the national context.
