OpenAI Releases ‘Deepfake’ Detector to Disinformation Researchers

OpenAI is releasing a tool designed to detect content created by its own popular image generator, DALL-E

[{"selector":"#anim-2549eb45-63fa-499f-b55a-6677673e2f61","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b429a9c7-3e4b-461e-8ca8-6773c9099749","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-103.36788%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-471c8f3d-6cd5-4589-a1cb-91e0175ba3ac","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-439ed97d-104a-46ea-a8c6-16f09b7c3403","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 118.92365%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

This tool is only a small part of what will be needed to fight so-called deepfakes

[{"selector":"#anim-d0bb3bf1-0524-4709-a509-5b37f9d06d9b [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-14.843749786673241%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bb141afd-be34-486b-9ed4-61477a85e049","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8af996c6-b4d1-4820-bf6b-e21b66b482b7","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-103.36788%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7c0e1869-7d50-46f7-a8e1-42dc1df13959","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-53492b46-ba80-4bb0-9ca2-4e7c44812d86","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 140.43530%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

OpenAI said it would share its new deepfake detector with a small group of disinformation researchers

[{"selector":"#anim-5c31990e-ed2a-4c4a-af3d-ccf5650afb13 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-5.818965249152576%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ba30294d-158e-436c-b11c-14a7cc6f079b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-276ddd21-5779-4bbd-8e46-2cee125079f0","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-103.36788%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4b5c35c3-7fdf-4b8c-bb49-c4ce593b3c63","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-40e03968-e03d-4f02-b54b-57ef9ef6be7f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 118.14241%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

OpenAI said it would share its new deepfake detector with a small group of disinformation researchers

[{"selector":"#anim-61f8350d-25cd-4246-9fc1-7d3672c10b43 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-0.2762427922008316%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d0709072-a5d8-42b6-84ec-5a9a135e94ba","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0a252f0c-4d9c-4797-9fb6-9e84ea3ae30e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-103.36788%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-95c3da7f-c83e-4306-ad9f-e092122d868c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f2f16cf7-d9b6-4120-a075-b19c3a542508","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 118.14241%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

so they could test the tool in real-world situations and help pinpoint ways it could be improved.

[{"selector":"#anim-2d2e15f4-9b15-4b6a-b81b-13c6dabc796f [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-7.796013811903159%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-72b39148-249c-4501-9e87-1a172bebcfa8","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4b5057ab-c762-4ab8-91a3-785e4191fdb4","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-103.36788%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bee4ddb8-fc37-4cb1-95b2-3f8056989c42","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-46f7f2cc-86e5-42d3-ae6a-ab350dcd8c65","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 118.14241%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

OpenAI said its new detector could correctly identify 98.8 percent of images created by DALL-E 3

[{"selector":"#anim-a361a973-ad3d-4f34-ac6a-20dc88509b07 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-11.49238764153712%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-31a2525e-0c86-4d52-b37b-0d69363b8554","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9ba526ce-86dc-445c-a637-521881754076","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-103.36788%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-41496043-140d-48dc-9590-21bc99a3627d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9b65542c-d618-4319-ac44-e58499eba80b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 118.14241%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

But the company said the tool was not designed to detect images produced by other popular generators like Midjourney and Stability

[{"selector":"#anim-ad7198e2-593c-4ab1-b408-ee5e78758aae [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-2.7246091552734506%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ba08f8af-e219-4c5f-af4d-7ebd087a5a11","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-91f8088e-bc4e-4848-a1ec-c61e88a9c015","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-103.36788%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-78c19516-1d29-4842-9f5b-7d26f292e1de","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-44441178-ce2c-426a-b7d7-aafc95ca439e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 112.48288%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Because this kind of deepfake detector is driven by probabilities, it can never be perfect
