Artificial intelligence: ls it getting out of control?

lmproved technology has made synthetic media ever more (0) realistic - but there are ways
to detect such content. lmages circulating recently on Twitter featured a (1) flustered-
lookinq Donald Trump being arrested, devastation in Oregon after a 2001 earthquake and
the Pope wearing a big white puffer jacket.

To the casual (2) observer they look like real photographs, with only their fictitious subject
matter in some instances indicating these are actually fakes - created in this case using
an (3) artificial intelligence image generator called Midjourney.

Political (4) deeofakes are seen as particularly problematic. "Deepfake content can be
used maliciously, such as discrediting politicians or spreading (5) disi rmation " says
Dr Subhajit Basu, associate professor of information technology law at the University of
Leeds in the UK. For example, deepfake videos can create false statements or actions
attributed to political candidates, influencing public opinion and (6) undermininq trust in
the democratic process." Although it may be possible to detect deepfakes, by the time a
video or image has been shown to be fake, it may already have gone viral.

"This can be incredibly damaging in countries where the general population does not have
'digital awareness'. This can contribute to the erosion of trust in democratic institutions,
media, and public figures," Dr Basu says. A (7) Doliticallv incendiary deepfake video could
be released shortly before polling day or politicians could also argue that controversial or
(8) ill-conceived comments they made were never actually said.

Just as sophisticated technology is used to produce deepfakes, so there are technological

methods to detect them - but it's not easy. Dr Antoniou distinguishes between direct and
indirect methods. "Broadly speaking, direct technological methods would involve digital
forensic analysis, namely the analysis of the (9) metadata of a video to determine if it has
been manipulated. This is particularly effective in detecting deepfakes that have been
poorly made or not fully optimised," he says.

Dr Antoniou says indirect methods may involve considering an image's context, such as
the location or event that it is supposed to come from. Sometimes simply looking carefully
at a poorly produced fake image will reveal (10) qiveaway flaws. He cautions that it as
deepfakes become more realistic, it may become "increasingly difficult" for the untrained
eye to tell apart real and artificially generated videos.
