Machines spot deepfake pictures better than humans, but people outperform AI in detecting deepfake videos

Artificial intelligence may be better than people at spotting fake faces in photos—but humans still have the upper hand when those fakes start moving. In a recent study, psychologists and computer scientists at the University of Florida found that AI programs were up to 97% accurate at detecting pictures of deepfake faces. Participants in the study performed no better than chance.
