"Global society makes billions of images and uploads hundreds of thousands of
hours of video on the internet every day.
The problem is, some of this content is misleading or downright wrong. And when
it’s in visual form, it can be particularly convincing.
Take the Met Gala that happened earlier this month in New York. While
photographers snapped photos of Rhianna, Beyoncé and Nicole Kidman as they
strutted their stuff, others saw “photos” of celebrities, such as Rosalía, Lady
Gaga and Jacob Elordi, who were actually elsewhere (the images in the below
Instagram carousel are AI generated).
While this type of AI slop might seem harmless and can be easily verified,
other “media fakery” is becoming far more problematic and demands more robust
techniques to verify.
Traditional verification techniques are falling short as AI becomes
increasingly convincing and the line between authentic and synthetic blurs.
This is true across all content, from still images to moving ones and audio
deepfakes.
The volume of content and the speed at which it travels doesn’t help. It also
doesn’t help that fact-checking can take hours or days while fakes can be
created in seconds."
