Lies are not unknown to humanity, they are as old as humanity itself, but the dimensions of the consequences that lies can reach today, with the use of modern technologies, have greatly increased. Recently, the use of modern technologies has created another means on the basis of which it is possible to create and distribute false content faster and easier, which can be used to undermine basic human rights. This tool is known as Deepfake and is used to tag photos, audio and video recordings that contain content that never happened in reality. In the continuation of the work, the authors explain the appearance of deepfakes. Certain international organizations, such as the European Union and the World Intellectual Property Organization, have recognized the necessity of reactions to this phenomenon. After analyzing the legal documents of international organizations, the authors turn to the presentation of normative solutions regarding the incrimination of deepfake in certain countries. The last part of the paper is dedicated to whether, according to the existing legislation of the Republic of Serbia, deepfake can be classified as a criminal offense.
