# Social Risks and Mitigations

The development of portrait image animation technologies driven by audio inputs poses social risks, such as the ethical implications of creating realistic portraits that could be misused for deepfakes. To mitigate these risks, it is crucial to establish ethical guidelines and responsible use practices. Privacy and consent concerns also arise from using individuals' images and voices. Addressing these involves transparent data usage policies, informed consent, and safeguarding privacy rights. By addressing these risks and implementing mitigations, the research aims to ensure the responsible and ethical development of this technology.
