An impressive deepfake video of Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk in 'Star Trek' shows how far the technology has come

A new deepfake video puts Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and Tesla CEO Elon Musk into an episode of "Star Trek."

Deepfake technology works by training an algorithm on images of a person's face then transplanting their face onto footage of someone else.Another amazingly convincing deepfake has hit the internet. Uploaded by deepfake YouTube account The Fakening on Wednesday, this particular deepfake transposes the faces of tech billionaires Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk onto a scene from the original "Star Trek" series. Musk's face is transposed onto that of the human Captain Pike, while Bezos is transformed into a member of the bulbous-headed alien race the Talosians.

Deepfake technology works by training an algorithm on lots of images or videos of someone's face, then using software to map that face onto a piece of footage of someone else.Victor Riparbelli, cofounder and CEO of British deepfake startup Synthesia, said the video was a "great example" of deepfake technology.

"I think this is a great example of the current state of the art in highly realistic face-swapping. Results like these still require lots of custom work and artistry along with significant expense on compute power but it's in the hands of passionate individuals, not companies," Riparbelli told Business Insider.
