The 30-something redhead boasted a job at a top think tank and a who’s-who network of pundits and experts, from the centrist Brookings Institution to the right-wing Heritage Foundation.

And several experts contacted by the AP said Jones’ profile picture appeared to have been created by a computer program. Scitechdaily. Systems designed to detect deepfakes — videos that manipulate real-life footage via artificial intelligence — can be deceived, computer scientists showed for the first time at the WACV 2021 conference which took place online from January 5 to 9, 2021.

Researchers showed detectors can be defeated by inserting inputs called adversarial examples into every video frame. The adversarial examples are slightly manipulated inputs that cause artificial intelligence systems such as machine learning models to make a mistake. In addition, the team showed that the attack still works after videos are compressed. “Our work shows that attacks on deepfake detectors could be a real-world threat,” said Shehzeen Hussain, a UC San Diego computer engineering Ph.D. student and first co-author on the WACV paper. In deepfakes, a subject’s face is modified in order to create convincingly realistic footage of events that never actually happened. High success rate.

Alexandra Leonards explores the dangers of perception, the rise of ‘shallowfakes,’ and discovers how to tackle deepfakes while they’re still in their infancy. The internet is already a hotbed for misinformation, and amid rising fears over election integrity and public health messaging in a global pandemic, the last thing it needs is an influx of doctored videos, advanced enough to convince the public a politician or scientist said something they didn’t. The prospect of fake videos becoming sophisticated enough to completely hoodwink audiences is certainly troubling. Deepfakes are getting better—but they’re still easy to spot.
