The deep lie is coming – the world of technology

Twitter users were trapped some time ago by a video of actor Bill Haider, which showed his fantastic ability to change his face to look like many actors at any time. Ben's video was so popular that many social media celebrities misled him And spread it Their calculations ignore that they contribute to the publication of a fake video produced with Deep Fake.

Fortunately that he did a lot Corrected He revealed the truth of this video, which has turned out to be fragmented from one of the YouTube channels that publish many videos produced by the technique of deep falsification. If you browse this channel, you will find many videos that replace the face of actors by other actors. In one of the clips, Jack Nicholson has replaced it. The famous horror film The Shining in the face of actor Jim Carrey, and if you do not know you're watching a fake clip, I thought Jim Carrey was the movie's hero.

Deep Fake Technology is relatively new, and some of us may have known when he watched several movies in which the face of the hero was replaced by Nicholas Cage. There is a popular video of actor Jordan Bell, who produced a video in which the face of former US President Barack Obama was used to make false statements. The purpose of this video was to educate people about the dangers of false news by using techniques that facilitate the industry of professional lies.

According to the artificial intelligence of face synthesis, the Deep Fake technology requires a large sample of data and a long enough time to replace the face with great precision. You will find that the most popular sections are for famous actors or personalities. The amount of images and videos available online for these characters is plentiful, allowing those who wish to replace the face to bring artificial intelligence to make a video as compelling as possible.

The majority of people feel comfortable with the need to have a huge amount of data, which means we will not see our faces in a fun movie or video, but that comfort does not will not be prolonged. In recent days, the Chinese company Momo launched Zao application, which caused a stir in social networks and the media. Although available in the Chinese market only.

Zao takes pictures of your face from multiple angles and, in a few seconds, will replace the faces of actors from many famous movies and series, such as Titanic and the Game of Thrones series, and will instead place you to find your face in the game Thrones instead of John Snow. Because the final product is fun and entertaining, millions of Chinese users have shared it with their friends and the network WeChat, considered a competitor of Momo, seems so jealous of the popularity of the 's. app that he banned sharing his clips by putting him in danger.

The speed and accuracy with which Zao app works have aroused the concern of followers of false and profound developments. It is recognized that artificial intelligence needs a lot of data and that it takes a lot of time to form an artificial intelligence to increase the accuracy of the installation, but one of Zao users said that the application I only need 8 seconds In order to produce part of his lead role in several roles of Leonardo DiCaprio, although the results are not 100% accurate, this is a big step in the world of deep falsities.

Details are missing

Zao does not process the video on the phone, but sends data to the company's video processing servers, and we enter into speculation and expectations.

We do not know the details of what is happening and how the video is made? Since the company only allows you to choose certain scenes, it may mean that its artificial intelligence can only process these scenes (for now) and may not work as efficiently if we use other scenes.

These predictions may explain the speed with which Zao works, but they do not diminish his possibilities. As AI was trained in these scenes, he can be dragged into other scenes, bringing us closer to the information chaos era. Imagine with me that the objective evil actors apply in the same way as Zao. With a much bigger budget?

Fears and preparation

In the United States, a member of Congress has introduced a bill to criminalize this technique and the Department of Defense has developed tools to help them analyze the video to determine whether it is real or fictional. Deeptrace, a Dutch company, manufactures an anti-counterfeit (similar to an anti-virus) counterfeit.

Deep forgery will be one of the next issues we will need to address. As we have suffered from Photoshop's problems over the last few decades, we will suffer more than deep falsification and who knows that chaos can reach a point that makes us indifferent because we have lost the ability to discern the truth. We may need to wear glasses with false-deep detection technology, and perhaps we will also need to develop electronic chips in our brains equipped with anti-counterfeiting … The future does not bode well.
