Astronomers Detect Deepfakes Using AI Techniques
Deepfakes, a growing concern
Deepfakes, which are computer-generated images or videos that depict people doing or saying things they never did or said, are becoming increasingly sophisticated. This has raised concerns about their potential to be used for malicious purposes, such as spreading misinformation or blackmailing individuals.
AI to the rescue
However, a new study from the University of California, Berkeley suggests that AI can be used to detect deepfakes with high accuracy. The study, which was published in the journal Nature Machine Intelligence, found that AI can identify deepfakes by analyzing the way light reflects off the eyes of the person in the image or video.
The researchers developed an AI model that was trained on a dataset of real and fake images. The model was then tested on a new dataset of images, and it was able to correctly identify deepfakes with 99% accuracy.
Conclusion
This study is a significant step forward in the fight against deepfakes. It shows that AI can be used to detect deepfakes with high accuracy, which could help to reduce their potential for harm.
