Artificial intelligence technology has rapidly advanced to the point where it can create lifelike videos that can fool the human eye. Examples of A.I. generated videos include a fake fashion show created by the Dor Brothers, a manipulated video game scene by Tim Yao, and a commercial produced by Toys ‘R’ Us using an A.I. video generator.
While some A.I. videos are obvious fakes, others are more convincing and can deceive viewers. Despite the rapid advancements in A.I. technology, there are still challenges such as rendering detailed elements like hands correctly. Some A.I. video generators struggle to create realistic videos like one showing a helicopter with still blades.
As more A.I. tools become available to the public, concerns about deepfakes and ethical guidelines for their use on social media platforms are being raised. While A.I. face-swapping can be a powerful creative tool, there is a need for transparency about its use and the development of methods to detect deepfakes.
The results of a quiz testing people’s ability to distinguish between real and A.I. generated videos show that A.I. technology is becoming increasingly sophisticated. With platforms and companies introducing more tools for users to create their own A.I. videos, there is a growing need for awareness of digital fakery. As A.I. technology continues to evolve, it is essential for viewers to be aware of the potential for deception in videos created with A.I. tools.
