Facebook Inc to team up with Microsoft Corp, the Partnership on Al and academics to launch a contest to better detect deepfake videos
The social media giant is putting $10 million into the"Deepfake Detection Challenge," which aims to spur detection research.
The social media giant is putting $10 million into the "Deepfake Detection Challenge," which aims to spur detection research. As part of the project, Facebook is commissioning researchers to produce realistic deepfakes to create a data set for testing detection tools. While there has not been a well-crafted deepfake video with major political consequences in the United States, the potential for manipulated video to cause turmoil was recently demonstrated by a "cheapfake" clip of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, manually slowed down to make her speech seem slurred.
“It’s a cat-and-mouse game. If I design a detection for deepfakes, I’m giving the attacker a new discriminator to test against," said Siddharth Garg, an assistant professor of computer engineering at New York University's Tandon School. The Deepfake Detection Challenge is not the first time that Facebook, which does not currently have a specific policy regarding deepfake videos, has funded academic research into the threat.
