The rapid proliferation of deepfake technology has ushered in a new era of digital manipulation, presenting significant challenges and ethical quandaries for global governance and organizational integrity. This research examines the positioning of BRICS nations—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—in the context of deepfake regulation, technological advancement, and public awareness, drawing comparative insights with the broader global response to this emergent phenomenon. Through a meticulous analysis of legal frameworks, AI-driven detection technologies, and public sentiment within these countries, the study highlights the uneven preparedness of BRICS nations in addressing the complexities posed by digital misinformation. While some, notably China and Russia, have made significant strides in technological innovation and regulatory enforcement, others, such as Brazil and South Africa, exhibit nascent efforts that remain mired in political and infrastructural challenges. Furthermore, the research underscores the imperative for organizations to adapt their strategic, operational, and crisis management frameworks to the evolving digital ecosystem, integrating cutting-edge tools for deepfake detection and establishing robust internal controls. The study concludes that while Western nations have made notable progress in legislative and technological responses, the global landscape remains fragmented and lacks cohesive international standards. Consequently, the managerial imperative is clear: to ensure organizational resilience and ethical media practices, both state and non-state actors must collaborate across borders, creating a unified front against the pernicious spread of digital disinformation.

摘要

The rapid proliferation of deepfake technology has ushered in a new era of digital manipulation, presenting significant challenges and ethical quandaries for global governance and organizational integrity. This research examines the positioning of BRICS nations—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—in the context of deepfake regulation, technological advancement, and public awareness, drawing comparative insights with the broader global response to this emergent phenomenon. Through a meticulous analysis of legal frameworks, AI-driven detection technologies, and public sentiment within these countries, the study highlights the uneven preparedness of BRICS nations in addressing the complexities posed by digital misinformation. While some, notably China and Russia, have made significant strides in technological innovation and regulatory enforcement, others, such as Brazil and South Africa, exhibit nascent efforts that remain mired in political and infrastructural challenges. Furthermore, the research underscores the imperative for organizations to adapt their strategic, operational, and crisis management frameworks to the evolving digital ecosystem, integrating cutting-edge tools for deepfake detection and establishing robust internal controls. The study concludes that while Western nations have made notable progress in legislative and technological responses, the global landscape remains fragmented and lacks cohesive international standards. Consequently, the managerial imperative is clear: to ensure organizational resilience and ethical media practices, both state and non-state actors must collaborate across borders, creating a unified front against the pernicious spread of digital disinformation.
