IN THE WORKS: Apple is in talks with Google to use its new Gemini artificial intelligence models to power the AI features for iPhones after previously discussing the prospect with ChatGPT maker OpenAI, according to a new report. 'CRAZY AND WEIRD': LSU women's basketball star Angel Reese took to social media Monday to call out those allegedly creating AI-generated photos of the college basketball player.

AI-generated porn, including celebrity fake nudes, persist on Etsy as deepfake laws 'lag behind'
Heritage Foundation tech policy director Kara Frederick joins'America's Newsroom' to discuss pornographic AI photos of Taylor Swift sparking conversations about deepfake regulation. Etsy, the online retailer known for providing a platform to sell hand-made and vintage products, continues to host sellers of "deepfake" pornographic images of celebrities and random women despite the company's efforts to clean up the site. The proliferation of sexually explicit images generated by artificial intelligence (AI) -- including depictions of celebrities -- on an otherwise innocuous marketplace comes as a shock to many experts. The problem has persisted on the platform for months. "That sounds like a total innocuous platform for people to do this. Usually we find a lot of explicit content on Twitter, or some other particular portals for that kind of materials," Siwei Lyu, a computer scientist and expert on machine learning and the detection of deepfakes, told Fox News Digital.

Humans stumped on difference between real or AI-generated images: study
People in Texas sounded off on AI job displacement, with half of the people who spoke to Fox News convinced that the tech will rob them of work. Humans have historically been excellent at identifying faces and photos compared to computers, but the advent of artificial intelligence-generated photos is throwing a curveball at humans, according to a new study that examines how people perceive fake images versus real ones. Tech experts have been warning that hyperrealistic images generated by AI could lead to the proliferation of misinformation online and cybersecurity issues. Last month, for example, panic spread after an AI-generated photo that apparently showed an explosion at the Pentagon went viral, leading to the stock market taking a short dip. Researchers in Australia examined how human brains perceive and differentiate realistic AI-generated photos using both behavioral testing and neuroimaging experiments.

Why Pope Francis Is the Star of AI-Generated Photos - The New York Times
Pope Francis wearing a long, white puffer jacket inspired by Balenciaga. Francis in a tactical vest, preparing to fly a fighter jet. Over the last few weeks, dozens of photos have appeared showing the leader of the world's Roman Catholics in strange scenarios, sending social media into a tizzy. Apart from the pontiff himself, the images all have something in common: They are fake, made by artificial intelligence tools that create images from short text prompts. Many public figures -- including the basketball star LeBron James and various Real Housewives -- have popped up in A.I.-generated pictures recently, but the images with Francis have made the biggest splash.
AI-generated photos of 'people' at a party look eerily realistic - until you take a closer look
Artificial intelligence can now let people invent a social life by creating images that suggest they attended a party that never happened and with friends that do not exist. Twitter user Miles created a realistic-looking collection with the AI system Midjourney, which generated images of women smiling at the camera and men raising their cups for a toast. The images appear to be candid shots of friends at a party, but a closer look may give you nightmares. The'people' are grinning with mouths full of teeth, hands are growing from hips and tattoos look like mold growing on their skin. However, the excessive amount of fingers has captivated the internet, with one user saying they look like'a nest of alien appendages sprouting forth to devour their host.'
Human creators in a uproar after AI-generated photo wins the first place in Colorado art competition
Artwork created by artificial intelligence (AI) was awarded a first place blue ribbon and a $300 prize after winning the digital category at the Colorado State Fair Fine Arts Competition, but human creators are furious about the news - with one saying the world is'watching the death of artistry unfold.' The AI artwork, dubbed Théâtre D'opéra Spatial, was submitted by Jason Allen, the president of a Pueblo-based gaming company Incarnate Games, who said he used Midjourney to make the stunning scenes that appear to combine medieval times with a futuristic world. Midjourney is an AI program that creates images from textual descriptions. Allen announced his win on Discord, an instant messaging social platform where he goes by the name Sincarnate, which then spread to Twitter where users shared their distaste that artwork generated by AI was chosen over those created by a human - one user stated'that's pretty f*cking sh*tty.' The Colorado resident appears to not be bothered by the criticism, as Allen notes on Discord how Twitter users are against AI-generated art, but are also'the first to throw the human under the bus by discrediting the human element.'
Synthetic media: How AI-generated characters spread disinformation
In the last few years, many strategies and tactics have been used to generate and spread online misinformation. But a recent approach that taps into the power of artificial intelligence to create photos with high accuracy of fictitious personas that purport to be journalists or field experts poses a serious and novel threat to our society. The AI-generated characters fall under a broad umbrella called synthetic media that relies on a technique called generative adversarial network (GAN), in which two networks compete to create photos that are cross-checked to determine whether they are realistic or not. Many websites and applications are now available to generate these photos without the need of any technical background, and they are incredibly convincing. In regard to disinformation campaigns, AI-generated characters have been utilized in three main ways.

Pro-China Propaganda Act Used Fake Followers Made With AI-Generated Images
A pro-China propaganda campaign that's been bashing the US on social media created fake followers with the help of AI-generated images. Since June, the campaign has been posting English-language videos critical of the Trump administration on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, according to research company Graphika, which has been tracking the group's activities. Graphika dubs the campaign "Spamouflage Dragon." And like other propaganda activities, the pro-China group uses fake accounts to share and post comments on its content to help it gain wider circulation. However, Graphika noticed something odd with the profile photos belonging to these fake accounts: In some cases, the headshots appear to be the work of an AI program designed to create artificial human faces. At first glance, the profile photos look legitimate.
