rachel stuart, and i'm hosting dw, and you've called costs don't straighten amounts, but there's no actually about mills. so it has to be traveling around your, facing the history of every day. ok. and that's something right around the world. and i need to talk to you that just says subscriber id, listen to podcast, and we'll take you along to the right the. can you really trust what you see on social media? this was posted as a picture from the gaza strip. but is it really if you, for it's a day fake, you'd be brought, the internet is full of them like this one of letting me a to 10 saying rush out will be attacked. so how can you recognize the face, but what they all that's out. so i'll take on this episode of shift donald trump in a loving embrace with covet expert anthony, felt you really, even if you did imply that one i produced deep fakes luckett of becoming increasingly convincing. this particular image was used by florida governor rhonda

santos, in june. 2023 in an attempt to estimate his rival candidate with us presidential election fast approaching social media is rife with this information. and people aren't holding back from using defects in political campaigns. whether it's to defend the opponents or to spread fake news. it's still fairly easy to spot faith videos generated by a lie, but it's much harder when it comes to audio. in india, a member of the ruling b, j. p. policy released audio recordings of all physician politician colonda boltron garage on it one clip. she ought to rush on a piece to say that she's tall, she members of corrupt. but an examination by independent exploits found the audio was likely to install vakio, a dubious audio clip was circulated on facebook just before the national elections . in september 2023, lead to the opposition requested the file to your policy. the code to match seems

to be talking about plans to reach the election fund. a piece fact checking department said the clip showed signs with manipulation and in the u. k. where labor policy latest a t a stomach is leading in the polls at the site was posted on x, in which case heard swearing repeatedly, stuff. the audio was also exposure to fake. yet the damage caused by the face can be irreversible, especially in the run up to elections right now. if you don't have a powerful laptop, it still takes ages to make it the fake. but even in the last few years, it's got a much faster. and with the i rice, it's only a question of time before the tech becomes readily accessible to anyone. but what does it take to produce a good day fake, and how can you spot one to find out,

we went to munich. nicholas knew the ones that deep stakes are getting increasingly easy to create. he's a cyber security expert in the unit, and that's been looking into different models process. so you want to look out the politician, for example of it you want to clone. and then you find a video that he's getting a speech, maybe this video is 13 minutes long, but every 2nd of the video has 20 to 30 frames. so just by taking this single in video, you may be have 10000 images of the politician. and then you can feed this into the all to encoder, which lots of disentangle the image and then you can manipulate it all to include or is a type of neural network to use from beacon takes in a sense that works a lot like a good pizza shirts, they 1st learned the ingredients of every pizza on the menu and what's a good taste and look like. and then before long, they can combine those ingredients differently to make entirely new pizzas the of the outcomes of deep fate tools that use such k. i

can be incredibly realistic, has demonstrated here. i am not morgan freeman. and what you're saying is not where you sorta to us are much law already in a way. they are much easier to use the data that we have in order to train these defect, generating models has mature. a lot to compute has become much more affordable. and also people have just looked at x technology and seen its value and invested in a timely so we just have more computed offing tips now and then a few years back to help design a tool that can i didn't to tie some deep fix. it works best when the voice and eclipses generated with a i. when someone creates a video with a good human voice actor, for example, the fakes are harder to detect. and so, or than us to fix. okay, so these different detection model struggling than ever the m face and you have the models themselves, so we have to continuously update them. and also it's just very hard to get access

to all the fakes and all the good audio out there. all these deep fix are harder to start the or, and some harder to create, even so as the pick tools get more sophisticated unaccessible people routine them out. we'll have to adapt to a site. detect is now available for home use as well with apps, such as sense the i o deep where i or this entails real time defect detector, which analyzes blood flow under the skin by pixel changes to determine if a video of a person is real. but they will also ways to expose the face using the good old naked, or you can look for the formed facial features and strangely shape limbs. and keep an eye out for on natural transitions in the images. make sure you always check the source in context of every post in video, and as always, don't immediately believe everything you say. this also applies to a live chat, bought select chat tape, a t they to have been known to give out false information. why do chatbox light?

that's what clara hillman and her team are trying to find house. a cruise to microsoft checkbook being about various german politicians and found that sometimes it gave incorrect answers even when the rush information was in it, cited sources. we don't really understand the connection to the links it provides because the links are kind of the links that you would probably get from their regular be who will search engine. so how is it possible that the bush stance is incorrect when it's source information is accurate? so one thing chapel trained to tell the truth, they're trained to give us the most likely next word in the sentence. so it's actually a structural problem, and that's why we're skeptic that this will change. so that happens, we actually like you're not correct and truthful answers in the future. after reporting the mistakes to microsoft, the company make corrections to the thoughts responses, but that doesn't take care of the bigger zooming. danger. now the search engines,

which are the places where we go to, to find a new incorrect information and they start using these chat box that actually don't give us the right information. then we actually have a problem for democracy because reliable information knowing what does that actually happening is one of the prerequisites for democracy. companies to make a champ, thoughts of setting up safety measures. and if it's less comprehending, advances use has to be careful, especially when they're about to vote. it's very important to have that kind of media literacy, especially because the big tech companies that produce these chap costs, they don't like they don't give enough warning about the dangers that come with using it. some fuel costs predict to the 90 percent of new content on the web, the creation with a i by 2026. and while checkbooks can deliver elaborate and complex answers, there's no guarantee there right?

ultimately, how much we trust iowa is up to us. according to experts and especially whine on the i fakes and also just regular this information, like for example on the israel, gaza will end up on x. one big reason for that is bought. another is a loan mosque, bolts around noon problem on social media. they're used to create re whose political agendas can be automated or sending alternative. you can sometimes spelt them by their handles, which are often randomly generated box can perform at the scale. humans can posting lighting, sharing and commenting minutes one minute when one of their posts, as seen is popular by the of the social media platform. it gets shared even further . even when the 1st contains misinformation or is that the state? because so far, social media hasn't master reading when he learned most about twitter and turned it

into x p also just found that the election integrity team, which has been keeping an eye on political. this information and defects on twitter must meet his position clear in a tweet. according to most of the integrity team were inhibiting the free exchange of opinions ahead of us elections. his idea is the user should track down and report feet user d thanks themselves. the so called community, but whether that can work in practice is debatable. google and meta are taking a different approach. on those platforms, anyone running political ads must 1st disclose whether they use a lot of tools. metal also works with independent fact check as well. take talk solution is to simply ban all political advertising in a u tech joins like mental x can now face severe penalties if they don't do enough to combat this information and defects and will actions are also being taken on the

industry level. many media companies, including dw, now have their own fact checking teams that the funk this information. one example is in kenya with a new initiative called from beula, which roughly means funding out opening your eyes into a healy to help david listed a kenyan influence on this because include, makes take talks about politics in kenya. i also need to talk to somebody and i see things happening as condos and whatnot. i usually just want to talk about is she currently has more than 200000 followers. i just love knowing and hearing, but i'm not alone induced. i could not induce, stuck us thinking like i, you guys actually see what's happening on june. and chloe is a research from blue collective that trips false information online. she says the

tick tock is around. let's see if let them use information as a new, assess and be good because i've been proficient pell of social media how platforms behave, what's what they allow, you know what the allegory things and how that works. that's why football team dealt with extra ahead of the 2022 presidential rights to create to talk some warning against voting for this information. be very keen when he comes to very, very so to be due. because it means then that the information has been contained to that very short video. and so the possibility of it being a fix, it is very high. and then now with the ai and people just being able to create and to edit things, it's become very easy for you to not just simplify and, but also, you know, and do to reduce and do to or do, did pick tests and then spent them from the help desk to fact check and produce content that went against sharing and verified videos. but i also, for myself, me being a platform like why because it's so easy to believe anything that's posted on the, on the internet. so it came at a very, at a very needed time, right?

information sense as in the during election information is really just say now around can use next general election is in 2027 until then is turn collectives like from global continue the emission to end this information. so how good are you at splitting the face and this information? put your skills to the test with m, i t's quiz at the address below. oh, that's it from us today. have a good one n. see you next on the

air. pollution is a chill especially in mega cities, can be ways humans contamination yet. so it's up to us to clean this. let's take a deep breath and find out how eco india in 30 minutes on the w. a pulse, the beginning of a story. that takes us along for the ride. it's about the perspectives culture information. this is the the news w. mine's

in the future. i go to this visual hot spots in germany. d. w. travel extremely worth a bit of the cases an applicant. do they have good weather? i, when i told me that they don't have violence, can we go sailing tulsa tissue today, because when they go to that, who set up? he has not been, you know, medical people who work hard won the tenants total. right. so not because the

the, you're watching to the, what you knew is flying from berlin is really forces seeking to wipe out amongst, pushed further into southern gaza. israel's military orders, a mass evacuation from con unit, the focus of its current operation. but one of gauze is and their families keep pouring into hospitals. thing they have no safe place to go. less, china is the world's worst pollute are, but it's investment in renewable energy technology could help the rest of the world make the transition away from fossil fuels.
