Outsmarting deep fakes: Researchers devise an AI-driven imaging system that protects authenticity
It might start to get easier to distinguish between real and fake images, thanks to a new deep learning system developed by NYU. The system is able to implant digital watermarks using an artificial neural network and spot manipulated photos and videos.... Read More...
Tempted to cheat on a written exam? Artificial intelligence is 90% certain to nab you
Using a Siamese neural network, a new deep learning system dubbed Ghostwriter is able to distinguish the writing styles between different texts. The algorithm compares a student's current written work against past examples of their prose, providing a percentage score for similar writing styles. The new system could be used to determine if a student has plagiarized their work, or if it is an original piece.... Read More...
