When pictures lie – The manipulative power of artificial intelligence

Date:

Angela Merkel and Barack Obama on the beach with an ice cream, then the arrest of Donald Trump: what seems real on social media is actually computer-made and carries dangers. Here you can read what AI fakes – so-called deepfakes – do to the viewer, how they arise and how you can recognize them.

Vienna Mayor Michael Ludwig proved that one can fall for such manipulative methods when he called a bogus version of Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko in August. Thanks to artificial intelligence (AI), former chancellor Sebastian Kurz sang “Just a Song” at the Eurovision Song Contest. You could quickly guess that the video material was fake. That looks different with the photos that come from more prominent politicians.
