Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Facebook to ban 'deepfakes'
Deepfakes are technologies or media that that
replace an existing image or video with someone else’s likeness by using artificial
intelligence. The technology creates fake images or videos of popular or
influential people, such as politicians, stars, or artists, in pornographic
videos, fake news, hoaxes, and financial fraud. Such fake videos look so
realistic that they could mislead the public perception of certain people that
could affect the person’s reputation, relevant businesses, or even an election
result. Platformers of video clips, such as Google and Facebook, have been trying
to detect and eliminate harmful and misleading deepfake videos, and Facebook has
recently announced that it will remove videos modified by artificial
intelligence from its platform. This is not an easy task, though. They need not
only to check the reality and authenticity of the video or image but also to fact-check
what the person actually did or say. They seem to need AI detector or fact-checker
to combat AI-created deepfakes.
Enjoy reading the article and learn what
deepfakes are about.
