Facebook, Microsoft, MIT, and Other Institutes Join Hands to Combat “Deepfakes”
September 11, 2019
Social media giant Facebook has teamed up with Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Microsoft to fight “deepfakes”. They have also committed to spend $10 million to create open-source tools that can be used to identify doctored videos that “deepfakes” are.
Deepfake is an advanced video editing technique with which one can create artificial intelligence-generated videos about real people saying “fake” things.
The 3 tech entities have teamed up with other institutes to host “Deepfake Detection Challenge (DFDC)” which will include a data set, grands, and awards to encourage others to create new methods for the detection and prevention of deefake content.
