Adobe unveils new AI that can detect if an image has been 'deepfaked'

Adobe researchers have developed an AI tool that could make spotting'deepfakes' a whole lot easier. The tool is able to detect edits to images, such as those that would potentially go unnoticed to the naked eye, especially in doctored deepfake videos. It comes as deepfake videos, which use deep learning to digitally splice fake audio onto the mouth of someone talking, continue to be on the rise. Adobe researchers have developed an AI tool that could make it easier to spot'deepfakes'. Deepfakes are so named because they utilise deep learning, a form of artificial intelligence, to create fake videos. They are made by feeding a computer an algorithm, or set of instructions, as well as lots of images and audio of the target person.
