A Las Vegas cyber-security conference hears the latest, unusual techniques to fight 'deep fake' videos.
There may be a new weapon in the war against misinformation: mice.
It is hoped that eventually the research could be used to help sites such as Facebook and YouTube detect deep fakes before they are able to spread online - though, to be clear, the companies won’t need their own mice.“While I think the idea of a room full of mice in real time detecting fake audio on YouTube is really adorable,” says Jonathan Saunders, one of the project’s researchers, “I don't think that is practical for obvious reasons.
“And because they can learn this really complex problem of categorising different speech sounds, we think that it should be possible to train the mice to detect fake and real speech.”
