The world of gaming is being rocked by an AI controversy that could upend the multi-billion dollar industry. Researchers have created an artificial intelligence tool that is capable of tracing wines back to their origins, using a chemical analysis that can warn consumers of potential fraudsters. "There's a lot of wine fraud around with people making up some crap in their garage, printing off labels, and selling it for thousands of dollars," University of Geneva Professor Alexandre Pouget, one of the researchers behind the project, said, according to a report in the Guardian. "We show for the first time that we have enough sensitivity with our chemical techniques to tell the difference." Fake wines are a widespread problem, the report noted, with fraudsters typically whipping up a batch as close to a well-known brand as possible and slapping a fake label on the bottle.
