The trend of fake profiles and fake accounts on social media has now taken a completely different turn as fake identities are breaching into the professional field too and people hardly have any chance to know the truth. These fake personas generated by AI are taking money away by fooling people into thinking that they are legit. AI programs called generative adversarial networks, or GANs can learn to create fake images that are less and less distinguishable from real images, by pitting two neural networks against each other. Nightingale and her colleague Hany Farid at the University of California, Berkeley, asked 315 participants, recruited on a crowdsourcing website, to say whether they could distinguish a selection of 400 fake photos from 400 photographs of real people. Each set consisted of 100 people from each of four ethnic groups: white, black, East Asian, and South Asian.
