A new paper from researchers in Italy and Germany proposes a method to detect deepfake videos based on biometric face and voice behavior, rather than artifacts created by face synthesis systems, expensive watermarking solutions, or other more unwieldy approaches. The framework requires an input o

The recent emergence of deepfake videos raises theoretical and practical questions. Are humans or the leading machine learning model more capable of detecting algorithmic visual manipulations of videos? How should content moderation systems be designed to detect and flag video-based misinformation? We present data showing that ordinary humans perform in the range of the leading machine learning model on a large set of minimal context videos. While we find that a system integrating human and model predictions is more accurate than either humans or the model alone, we show inaccurate model predictions often lead humans to incorrectly update their responses. Finally, we demonstrate that specialized face processing and the ability to consider context may specially equip humans for deepfake detection.
