AI-generated faces of white people now seem more real than actual ones, according to a new study which raises concerns that the technology may be used to fool people.. More people thought AI ...

The reason is simple: AI algorithms, including StyleGAN2, are disproportionately trained on white faces, she said. This training bias led to white faces that were "extra-real," as Dawel put it.

In their experiments, the researchers presented white adults with a mix of 100 AI-generated and 100 real white faces, asking them to identify which were real and their confidence in their decision.

For instance, white AI-generated faces are frequently more in proportion, but viewers see this as a sign of their “humanness”, Dawel explained. “However, we can’t rely on these physical ...

An MIT spinoff co-founded by robotics luminary Daniela Rus aims to build general-purpose AI systems powered by a relatively new type of AI model called a liquid neural network. The spinoff, aptly ...
