From WSJ’s The Future of Everything
Why AI Keeps Getting Better at Making Fake Images
By Charlotte Gartenberg and Alex Ossola
Fake images are already turning heads online, and Hany Farid, a professor of computer science at the University of California, Berkeley, says we’re only going to see more of it. Farid specializes in image analysis and digital forensics. He tells WSJ’s Alex Ossola why it’s so easy to use generative AI to create convincing fake images, and why it could cause problems in the future. Plus, he discusses the potential tech solutions that will help us decipher whether an image or video we’re seeing online is too good to be true.
Hany Farid is a professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering & Computer Sciences and the School of Information.
