Deepfake AI: Researchers Have Finally Found A 'Good' Way To Use It

Deepfakes have gained a lot of negative attention recently. Be it the hugely criticized DeepNude AI app which removes clothing from pictures of women or the FakeApp that swaps the faces of celebrities with porn stars in videos. Deep-learning algorithms are excellent at detecting matching patterns in images. This capability can be used to train neural nets to detect different types of cancer in a CT scan, identify diseases in MRIs, and spot abnormalities in an x-ray. While the idea of implementing deepfake AI for medical purposes sounds great, researchers don't have enough data to train a model -- simply because of privacy concerns.
