Training humans boosts detection of AI-generated faces, study finds
A one-hour training session nearly doubled participants' ability to spot AI-generated faces, researchers reported.
- Researchers from the University of Aberdeen and the Australian National University conducted a study on human detection of AI-generated faces.
- Participants' accuracy in identifying fake faces rose from about 40% before training to around 80% after a one-hour session, with some achieving near 100% accuracy.
- The study found that AI systems still struggle to produce accurate faces of children, elderly people, and some ethnic groups due to biases in training data.
- Researchers said that future countermeasures will require combining trained human judgment with automated detection.
