Explained: How to spot a deepfake picture

Researchers have found a novel way to detect deepfakes by analyzing reflections in the eyes of subjects in images. Presented at a conference in Hull, UK, this method leverages astronomy techniques to assess the consistency of light reflections, distinguishing between real and AI-generated images with 70% accuracy. While promising, the approach requires refinement to minimize false detections. This breakthrough marks a significant step in combating digital misinformation in an era dominated by advanced AI technologies.
