The wool elephant looks like the real thing, but is created by artificial intelligence. Hugging Face Humans often have no chance whatsoever of distinguishing artificially generated images, audios and videos from real ones. This is why researchers are currently working on automated recognition solutions. All it takes is a simple text command: in no time at all, artificial intelligence can generate an image that looks like a real photo and is indistinguishable from it to human eyes. Fascinating though it is, it essentially casts doubt on the authenticity of every image. For his PhD thesis at the Faculty of Computer Science at Ruhr University Bochum, Jonas Ricker has specialised in the technical recognition of fake images. He's looking for ways to distinguish artificially generated pictures and videos from real ones.
