Giorgio Partini (Deeptrace, now Sensity) and Alex van Someren (Armadeus Capital) discuss how artificial intelligence is abused for the creation of “deepfakes“.
The availability of images online has created the ability to manipulate videos and images automatically, at scale, Patrini explains. This has the potential to take disinformation to a new level, he says. “If you can manipulate a video, you open a new toolset for people to do negative things”.
Deepfakes are “going to affect how we believe and trust videos”, he warns – and if not dealt with soon, “it will lead to the erosion of trust.”
His company’s solution is to detect deepfakes with the help of artificial intelligence. The algorithms look for signs of manipulation at a pixel level, faster and more accurately than any human could.
