New Deepfake Spotting Tool Proves 94% Effective – Here's the Secret of Its Success

#artificialintelligence

Question: Which of these people are fake? University at Buffalo deepfake spotting tool proves 94% effective with portrait-like photos, according to study. University at Buffalo computer scientists have developed a tool that automatically identifies deepfake photos by analyzing light reflections in the eyes. The tool proved 94% effective with portrait-like photos in experiments described in a paper accepted at the IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing to be held in June in Toronto, Canada. "The cornea is almost like a perfect semisphere and is very reflective," says the paper's lead author, Siwei Lyu, PhD, SUNY Empire Innovation Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering.


An online propaganda campaign used AI-generated headshots to create fake journalists

#artificialintelligence

A network of fictional journalists, analysts, and political consultants has been used to place opinion pieces favorable to certain Gulf states in a range of media outlets, an investigation from The Daily Beast has revealed. At least 19 fake personas were used to author op-eds published in dozens of mainly conservative publications, with AI-generated headshots of would-be authors used to trick targets into believing the writers were real people. It's not the first time AI has been used in this way, though it's unusual to see machine learning tech deployed for online misinformation in the wild. Last year, a report from The Associated Press found a fake profile on LinkedIn, part of a network of likely spies trying to make connections with professional targets, that also used an AI-generated headshot. AI-generated profile pictures created by sites like ThisPersonDoesNotExist.com have some unique advantages when it comes to building fake online personas.


Xinhua's virtual news reader to human-sounding Google Duplex: 5 ways AI impressed, and scared humans

#artificialintelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) or futuristic tech as we may call it, is one innovation that is only developing to get bigger and better. AI flaunts the capabilities of technology and how it can mimic or eventually perfect tasks humans do. AI also comes with possible benefits of making human lives easier. At the same time, this technology also has the potential of risks if entered in the wrong hands. There are many platforms where AI takes part, starting with the most popular device – smartphones.


ThisPersonDoesNotExist Is A Terrifying Glimpse Of What Neural Networks Are Capable Of

#artificialintelligence

AI-generated fake images and videos can occasionally be funny, but usually they're a creepy look into an all-too-near future where we can't distinguish the real from the fake. Thispersondoesnotexist.com is a scary example of the latter. But the people in the photos are not real. They're AI-generated fakes, produced by a generative adversarial network (GAN) built by graphics and machine learning giant Nvidia. Here's a look at how it works: But you'd be hard-pressed to guess the faces are fake, just from looking at them.


Creepy! This website creates human faces of people who don't exist

#artificialintelligence

Humans have a strange relationship with technology especially artificial intelligence (AI). We love to talk about AI and its benefits but also hate it at the same time, and a piece of news that went around recently is a good example of it. Recently, a website named, thispersondoesnotexist.com created a lot of buzz online. The website employs AI & machine learning (ML) to generate human faces that do not exist! The website uses a type of technology that learns from human faces fed into a machine.


Website uses artificial intelligence to generate realistic human faces from scratch - National

#artificialintelligence

Every time a visitor to the website, ThisPersonDoesNotExist, reloads the page, an algorithm generates a lifelike human face - one that doesn't actually belong to anyone. A software developer has developed an artificial intelligence-powered website which generates a different face from scratch each time you refresh your browser. Every time a visitor to the website, ThisPersonDoesNotExist, reloads the page, an algorithm generates a lifelike human face – one that doesn't actually belong to anyone. The technology was developed by Uber software developer and website creator Phillip Wang, who told Digital Trends that the idea for the project began in 2014 during a conversation with Google deep learning research scientist Ian Goodfellow. Goodfellow introduced the concept of a generative adversarial network (GAN) to produce the images.


Website uses Artificial Intelligence to create utterly realistic human faces

#artificialintelligence

A couple of months ago it was reported that NVIDIA has developed a tool that uses Artificial Intelligence to create extremely realistic human faces which in reality do not exist. Now, there is a website that is currently receiving a lot of attention online due to a similar function. Apparently, the website can recreate realistic faces of non-existent people by just hitting the Refresh button. Designed by a software engineer Philip Wang, who works at Uber, the website can generate fake but realistic looking human faces of people who don't actually exist, using artificial intelligence. The website is hosted at ThisPersonDoesNotExist.com.


ThisPersonDoesNotExist.com uses AI to generate endless fake faces

#artificialintelligence

The ability of AI to generate fake visuals is not yet mainstream knowledge, but a new website -- ThisPersonDoesNotExist.com -- offers a quick and persuasive education. The site is the creation of Philip Wang, a software engineer at Uber, and uses research released last year by chip designer Nvidia to create an endless stream of fake portraits. The algorithm behind it is trained on a huge dataset of real images, then uses a type of neural network known as a generative adversarial network (or GAN) to fabricate new examples. "Each time you refresh the site, the network will generate a new facial image from scratch," wrote Wang in a Facebook post. He added in a statement to Motherboard: "Most people do not understand how good AIs will be at synthesizing images in the future."


Creepy website uses AI to create 'deepfake' photos of humans who don't exist

Daily Mail - Science & tech

A new website lets users click through an endless library of fake human faces created by artificial intelligence. Called ThisPersonDoesNotExist.com, the results are startlingly lifelike and may make you question what's real and what isn't. Every time a user refreshes their browser, the site spits out a randomly generated face, spanning from older men and women to even children. At first glance, these photos appear to be of random people. However, a website called ThisPersonDoesNotExist.com uses AI to generate startlingly realistic copies of human faces ThisPersonDoesNotExist.com was created by a software engineer at Uber.


This website uses AI to generate faces of people who don't exist

#artificialintelligence

With the help of artificial intelligence, you can manipulate video of public figures to say whatever you like -- or now, create images of people's faces that don't even exist. You can see this in action on a website called thispersondoesnotexist.com. It uses an algorithm to spit out a single image of a person's face, and for the most part, they look frighteningly real. Hit refresh in your browser, and the algorithm will generate a new face. Again, these people do not exist.
