AI FOR GOOD AND BAD
DeepFakes — a Security Invasion or a Revolution (1/2)!
The negative side of the AI revolution
DeepFakes are the super realistic high-quality images and videos completely generated by Deep Learning (an AI stream) algorithms. This is controversial since there have been few cases where these artificially created videos or artificially copied voices have been used for unlawful purposes. You can just type ‘deepfake’ in google images and you will know how prevalent it is. Or let me first show you a sample of this technology, after which you will know what I am talking about (Let the YouTube Ad play if you are watching it on LinkedIn Mobile :P).
TikTok’s parent company Byte-dance has built an unreleased feature, they call as face-swap, using the deepfake technology. The user will be able to put her own face into an already existing celebrity’s video giving the impression that the user is actually acting or singing in that video. Snapchat has recently bought a Ukrainian company — AI factory, which specializes in such computer vision products.
