Unsupervised Prejudice: Image classification models learned bias from ImageNet.

Social biases are well documented in decisions made by supervised models trained on ImageNet’s labels. But they also crept into the output of unsupervised models pretrained on the same dataset.

Deepfakes Are Heartless: AI detects deepfaked videos by their lack of heartbeat.

The incessant rhythm of a heartbeat could be the key to distinguishing real videos from deepfakes. DeepRhythm detects deepfakes using an approach inspired by the science of measuring minute changes on the skin’s surface due to blood circulation.
