Artificial intelligence (AI) is slowly gaining traction and becoming a part of our everyday lives.
But the world has mixed feelings about it.
One of the biggest concerns about AI is the creation and use of deepfakes.
Concerned friends and family probably came across the ad and shared it with her.
The only thing is, it wasnt my voice.
To get an expert opinion,Bored Pandareached out to ProfessorSiwei Lyu, Ph.D. Lyusareas of interest include digital media forensics, computer vision, and machine learning.
He explained the steps Michel could take to deal with the ad.
Notify social media platforms and request the removal of the deepfake content.
These algorithms are so advanced that they can change or replace existing content seamlessly.
But luckily, as soon as she learned about the video, she decided to inform people about it.
Professor Lyu explained how someone could figure out if a video they came across was AI-generated.
He said, the person could know whether it was them who made the specific video recording.
One can notice some artifacts in deepfake videos, especially those made withsoftwareand did not undergo manual cleanup operations.
In 2018,researchersfound that deepfakes dont normally blink.
It shows just how fast AI can learn from its mistakes.
Poor-quality AI videosare easier to spot.
The problem is people consume massive amounts of content every day.
Not everyone has the patience to stop and figure out if a video has been digitally altered.
They might just believe whatever theyre shown.
Thats why there should be sanctions placed on companies to protect folks from such media.
This will allow media created using their technology to be reliably traced back to the source.
Raise the alarm if you come across unethical deepfakes, and always remember… constant vigilance!
