Who will save us from deepfakes? Other AIs? Humans? What about vastly hyperintelligent pandimensional beings?

Who will save us from deepfakes? Other AIs? Humans? What about vastly hyperintelligent pandimensional beings?

In a presentation at the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas, data scientists examined various ways to identify deepfake videos – something that is going to become increasingly important as US elections approach in 2020.

George Williams, director of data science at GSI, explained that AIs are better at spotting deepfakes than fleshbags.

Earlier this year, humans were pitted against a generative adversarial network (GAN) to call out a selection of deepfakes, and the carbon-based humanoids did pretty well, spotting 88 per cent of fakes.

But the machines managed an average rate of 92 per cent.

"That seems pretty good, but when you consider the sheer volume of content that can be put out on social media, you're going to see a lot of mistakes and false positives," he said.

"Some of the content will get past both humans and machines."
