While these examples are novel, a far more menacing issue lurks in the shadows. What about Jim Carrey as Jack Torrance in The Shining? That exists too. Did you ever want to see Sylvester Stallone as Kevin in Home Alone? Now you can. These high quality images and videos generated by machine learning algorithms are called “deepfakes” and are capable of face swapping, facial mimicry, lip-syncing, and full-body motion. Flat 2D portraits can even now be converted into 3D videos. Anyone can be placed into anything- including you.

But what if the person you’re video conferencing with isn’t actually who they say they are? Facial swapping software is now so believable that an actor’s face can be convincingly replaced with another person’s appearance. This year’s pandemic has now completely normalized video calls for anything from education to medical consultations and employment screening.
Which, as you can imagine, will make investigations into fraud a little harder to conduct. Unlike using a stolen profile picture of an existing person, these AI-generated faces are virtually untraceable.
This Person Does Not Exist is a website that provides AI-generated human faces of people that, you guessed it, do not exist. We’re not saying this doesn’t happen anymore, but reverse image searching capabilities provided by various search engines have made it easier to determine if the individual behind a profile image is genuine.īut there’s more to fake accounts nowadays. Gone are the days where scammers could easily steal your profile picture, set up a fake social media account, and begin defrauding other people-all in your name. In this exploratory piece, we consider what could happen with some of the biggest changes in AI, whether this could usher in a new era for cybercrime, and the biggest question of all: Are we finally transitioning to a post-truth world?
What happens when AI and machine learning evolve beyond the uncanny valley? How will we know what is real and what isn’t? Developments in AI and machine learning have progressed forward in leaps and bounds, but not always with a focus on our privacy or security.
