"Deepfake faces generated via artificial intelligence (AI) have become so
realistic that they routinely fool people, with some research suggesting there
may be US$40 billion worth of deepfake-related fraud annually by 2027.
Not only do most people struggle to spot AI faces, but as long ago as 2023 we
discovered some AI faces are “hyperreal” – they look more real than actual
human faces. We also found people are overconfident they can spot AI faces,
with the most confident people making the most errors.
Software-based deepfake detectors do exist, but they can’t really explain the
reasons for their detections – and they suffer from serious weaknesses. Some
can be fooled simply by converting the image type, such as from png to jpg.
But it turns out most people can learn to spot AI faces with an hour or so of
practice. In new research published in
PNAS, we show there’s a
straightforward way to improve detection of deepfakes, by training people to
pick up the tell-tale clues through experience rather than direct instruction."
