In a presentation at the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas, data scientists examined various ways to identify deepfake videos – something that is going to become increasingly important as US elections approach in 2020.
George Williams, director of data science at GSI, explained that AIs are better at spotting deepfakes than fleshbags. Earlier this year, humans were pitted against a generative adversarial network (GAN) to call out a selection of deepfakes, and the carbon-based humanoids did pretty well, spotting 88 per cent of fakes. But the machines managed an average rate of 92 per cent.
