"Microsoft Strengthens Deepfake Fight With New Authentication Tools"

Microsoft has launched new deepfake-fighting tools. Deepfakes are videos, photos, and audio recordings that have been generated through the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). One tool analyzes photos or videos and then provides a percentage chance or confidence score that a piece of the content has been artificially manipulated. Another new technology is said to detect manipulated content and assure people that the content they are viewing is real. Security researchers have stressed the importance of combatting the continued advancement of deepfakes as they could be used to decrease the effectiveness of facial recognition technologies as well as spread disinformation. This article continues to discuss Microsoft's new authentication technologies and the importance of fighting deepfakes.
