Fake news has become the most prevalent form of slander. Recent examples of deepfake news include the Gabon president's video, which showed him giving an address that rivals deemed deepfake. The video provoked civil unrest and is not known what the president's current condition is. But it's likely that more fake news will emerge in the future.
Artificial intelligence (AI).
A few examples of fake AI are being touted by AI providers. MMC Ventures (London) has discovered that only 40% of AI companies it studied did not use artificial intelligence in their marketing claims. Banjo was instead a program that manually analyzed data by human data analysts. The Utah lawmaker isn’t the only one. Fake AI has been exploited by many businesses and governments.
Fake news
Because deep fakes are spread worldwide, civil liability for the platforms who distribute them is also global. Defamation, false lighting, and intentional infliction or emotional distress are the most common civil claims for deep fakes. Unfortunately, the platform owner may not be in the country so there may be no recourse for someone who has been hurt by the content. However, there are some measures platforms can take to mitigate the harm caused by deep fakes.
Phishing
Identity fraud is one of the fastest growing forms of financial crime and deepfake technology opens a Pandora's Box for attackers. Deepfake technologies can be used to fool authentication mechanisms because identities are a common variable across endpoints. This technology can be used by phishers to steal identities including business leaders'. QR code-phishing is a new threat.
Pornography
The internet is increasingly turning to deepfake pornography. Its creators use artificial Intelligence (AI) to create pornographic material from celebrities and other high-profile people. As such, deepfake poin is hugely lucrative. Deepfake pornography is not the same as traditional porn. It does not require consent. However, it involves the abuse of the likenesses and characteristics of those over 18 years.
Reconstructions based on the lives of celebrities
Reconstructions of celebrities using DeepFake use artificial intelligence to create video-based doppelgangers of the real thing. This technology uses the face swapping technique to create deep neural networks that can reconstruct the image. DeepFake makes use of the videos to extract facial landmarks from the subject to identify their faces and reconstruct them based on those landmarks.
FAQ
Which countries are leaders in the AI market today, and why?
China has more than $2B in annual revenue for Artificial Intelligence in 2018, and is leading the market. China's AI industry is led by Baidu, Alibaba Group Holding Ltd., Tencent Holdings Ltd., Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd., and Xiaomi Technology Inc.
The Chinese government has invested heavily in AI development. China has established several research centers to improve AI capabilities. These centers include the National Laboratory of Pattern Recognition and the State Key Lab of Virtual Reality Technology and Systems.
China also hosts some of the most important companies worldwide, including Tencent, Baidu and Tencent. All of these companies are working hard to create their own AI solutions.
India is another country which is making great progress in the area of AI development and related technologies. India's government is currently working to develop an AI ecosystem.
Is there any other technology that can compete with AI?
Yes, but not yet. Many technologies have been created to solve particular problems. However, none of them can match the speed or accuracy of AI.
What are some examples of AI applications?
AI can be used in many areas including finance, healthcare and manufacturing. Here are a few examples.
-
Finance - AI has already helped banks detect fraud. AI can scan millions upon millions of transactions per day to flag suspicious activity.
-
Healthcare – AI is used for diagnosing diseases, spotting cancerous cells, as well as recommending treatments.
-
Manufacturing - AI can be used in factories to increase efficiency and lower costs.
-
Transportation - Self-driving cars have been tested successfully in California. They are being tested across the globe.
-
Utilities use AI to monitor patterns of power consumption.
-
Education - AI is being used in education. Students can use their smartphones to interact with robots.
-
Government - AI can be used within government to track terrorists, criminals, or missing people.
-
Law Enforcement - AI is used in police investigations. Search databases that contain thousands of hours worth of CCTV footage can be searched by detectives.
-
Defense - AI can both be used offensively and defensively. In order to hack into enemy computer systems, AI systems could be used offensively. Defensively, AI can be used to protect military bases against cyber attacks.
From where did AI develop?
In 1950, Alan Turing proposed a test to determine if intelligent machines could be created. He believed that a machine would be intelligent if it could fool someone into believing they were communicating with another human.
John McCarthy took the idea up and wrote an essay entitled "Can Machines think?" in 1956. He described the problems facing AI researchers in this book and suggested possible solutions.
