The rapid advancement of deepfake technology poses significant challenges to athletic celebrities, where altered or falsified media can impact athletes’ reputations, fan engagement, and the integrity of match broadcasting. This paper proposes a novel framework for deepfake image recognition for athletic celebrities using locality sensitive hashing (LSH). LSH, an efficient technique for high‐dimensional nearest neighbor searches, is employed to detect and differentiate deepfake images from authentic media. By extracting high‐dimensional features from images and videos using convolutional neural networks (CNNs), LSH is applied to hash similar content into clusters for quick and accurate deepfake detection. The proposed method is tested on real‐world dataset, showing promising results in terms of accuracy and computational efficiency. This research highlights the importance of integrating advanced hashing techniques like LSH in safeguarding the authenticity of digital content and provides insights into future directions for deepfake detection mechanisms.
