New Light-Based Method Spots Deepfake Videos in Seconds
Researchers have built a technique that uses light to detect manipulated videos. In their tests it identified fake videos with 99.86% accuracy and real videos with 95.72% accuracy. The system can process 15 videos at a time, so it can check several clips together.
Context
Deepfakes are fake videos made with AI that can show people saying or doing things they never did. Spotting them has become harder as the tools to create them improve, so detection research is an active race.
