Developing Technology
Tooday's company’s researchers use new kinds of artificial intelligence software to change the faces of the actors. People and actors are having an instant look at the changeover. In recent times, researchers have created hundreds of videos with changes in bodies and faces, which are so-called deepfake videos. By creating these digitally manipulated deepfake videos with spreading disinformation, Google’s scientists decided to learn how to spot deepfakes.
Google released several deepfake videos to help researchers build tools that use artificial intelligence to spot altered videos that could initiate political misinformation, corporate sabotage, or cyberbullying. The videos developed by Google could be used to create technology that provides the hope of catching deepfakes. YouTube or Facebook, and other social media platforms are places to spread fake videos or images, so internet companies like Google are immediately finding tools to spot deepfakes. Technology will only be part of the solution. Besides deepfakes will most likely improve faster than detection methods, and to overcome that, human intelligence and expertise will be needed to identify misleading videos in the predictable future. Advances in machine learning have made it easy to automatically capture a person’s character and swap it for someone else's. That’s made it relatively simple to create fake porn, odd movie mashups, and demos that point to the potential for political disruption.
