US EditionDiverse misinformation: impacts of human biases on detection of deepfakes on networks
- Researchers from Humboldt University published a 2023 study showing that advanced deepfake videos can mimic realistic heartbeat signals in manipulated faces.
- This development results from increasingly sophisticated AI techniques that transfer subtle skin color changes, undermining previous detection methods based on pulse analysis.
- The study demonstrated that current deepfake detectors wrongly identified these videos as authentic because the fake heartbeat can be either intentionally added or inherited from real footage.
- Professor Peter Eisert noted that the latest advanced deepfake videos may include lifelike heartbeats and subtle variations in facial coloration, making detection significantly more challenging.
- These findings indicate that deepfake detection must evolve beyond relying on pulses, as undetectable fakes pose new risks of exploitation by malicious actors.
