Anderson Cooper has a blast in karaoke... or at least his deepfake did

 There's a new player in the

field of artificial intelligence.

Bloomberg is reporting

that Apple is developing its own chatbot

to rival OpenAI's Chad.

GPT internal engineers

reportedly calling these service Apple.

GPT shares and Apple spiked moments

after Bloomberg published its report.

There is no release date

yet for the product.

Right now,

it can only be used by Apple employees.

But generative A.I.

has reportedly become a major push

for the tech giant.

While there's much excitement

around the new technology,

there's also concern about

the potential dangers. A.I.

generated images can cause,

whether people can spot

fakes in the real world, panic

that could be caused

by an artificial image.

Daniel Sullivan tonight has more

We downloaded the Pentagon

deep fake image

and upload it into the platform.

When a fake image

purporting to show an explosion

at the Pentagon

went viral on Twitter in May,

led to a brief dip in the stock markets.

For a moment,

there was concern

America was under attack. Here we go.

And it was able to

pick up the Pentagon image as 78% fake.

Wow.

Rajat Gupta is the CEO of Deep Media,

a company

that has built technology

to detect deepfakes.

So if we look at what actually came

through as fake in the detector,

a lot of it, again, is about the cloud.

So. Right.

The lighting conditions on the smoke

aren't what a real world explosion

would appear as Rojo's

Company is working with the U.S.

Air Force as the U.S.

government prepares for what some fear

will be a deluge of disinformation

through deepfakes.

The generative A.I.

capabilities are just going to continue

to grow

from a national security perspective.

What are the concerns here?

That photo

that claims

that there was an explosion

at the Pentagon is one example

certainly that could be used to target

the decision making process of U.S.

leaders

The Pentagon itself has been concerned

about deepfakes for some time.

Mattrick and William

Carvey are part of the Pentagon's

DARPA program, DARPA.

Shaping the Future

DARPA was set up in 1958

amid concerns

that the United States was falling behind

in the space race.

And today

it is

still tasked

with keeping up

with the latest

cutting edge research and technology

So what what

this algorithm is asserting

anyway is that

this is computer generated.

DARPA has been working for more

than five years with American research

and other institutions

to develop technology to spot deepfakes.

You can kind of see some tallies

maybe in the

in the building in the background.

Right. It doesn't look quite real.

It's really hard to generate

apparently this fencing nation states

have always had the ability

to manipulate media.

I think what is changing here

is what's the level of skill

and resources

needed to create

those media manipulations?

And as we're seeing

that continues to come down,

Brigitte Gupta demonstrated

just how easy it is

to create a fake image in seconds

using a tool freely available online.

And you can basically type in here

anything and it'll create whatever.

Yeah, pretty much.

Much we try to come up with

and create today.

Well,

what if we create a fake image of

Anderson Cooper doing karaoke?

Sure. All right.

Let's see if this one gets it.

Also, this is just remarkable.

Quickly, this generates, right?

Yeah. Yeah. Here we go.

Which one's your favorite?

I've got like number four.

They've left

and they've let his hair grow.

Out of Rachael,

then run the deep fake Anderson

through his deep fake detection system.

So here

we see the results for our deepfake of

Anderson Cooper. Singing karaoke.

Interestingly,

it got his face

as being synthetically manipulated,

but I guess it's

picking up on the lighting

on the synthetic version

of Anderson Cooper's forehead and cheeks.

Again, it picked up on this person

over here

is being synthetically translated.

There's not a synthetic

about Anderson's cheekbones.

And while some deepfakes

are clearly satire,

hey, baby, loopy,

I'm an absolute ball of zest and flavor,

like this twitch account

that streams hours

of deepfake Trump and deepfake Biden

insulting one another.

There are very real concerns

that this technology

will be used to cause

chaos and confusion

in the 2024 election campaign.

Professor Hany Freed studies

deepfakes and disinformation.

I think that the campaigns

need to start thinking very carefully

about how they are going to combat

these disinformation campaigns

because they are absolutely coming

And Tony joins us now.

But for the record,

I have actually never done or never

the idea of it just

I would go after we can go for

it is not in a million years

It doesn't interest me.

Has anyone out there

found like a beneficial use of it

other than amusing.

I mean, look, this is this is. Yeah.

You know,

you can have a lot of fun with it.

I mean, it's fascinating to see

we're seeing it obviously

being used in Hollywood.

Some people are saying this is great.

You can do special effects much easier.

But obviously,

we also know that SAG-AFTRA

and the actors union have problems

with that.

And then, of course, you know,

it doesn't take a lot of imagination

to see how this could be used

in a bad way for elections.

I do want to show you,

we created a few more deepfakes of you

using this technology

that's you there looking quite dapper.

These are actually done by an artist,

but still using the same technology

that's, you know,

running away from the burning flames.

And so I try to make

have the Hollywood career. Yes, exactly.

If this doesn't work,

you don't need a solvent.

Thank you very much. Appreciate it.
