Astronomical Techniques Unveil New Method to Detect AI Deepfakes

Researchers use eye reflection analysis to identify inconsistencies in AI-generated images, enhancing deepfake detection.

  • New study from the University of Hull applies astronomy tools to spot deepfakes through eye reflections.
  • The Gini index and CAS system measure light distribution in eye reflections to determine image authenticity.
  • Inconsistencies in reflections between eyes indicate AI-generated images with about 70 percent accuracy.
  • The method is not foolproof but adds to the arsenal of techniques to detect manipulated photos.
  • Researchers highlight the ongoing 'arms race' between deepfake creators and detection technologies.
