Currently, Russian companies and the government are developing technologies to mark original files and detect deep frauds. writes about it RIA News.
The vice president of the department, Alexander Shoitov, told reporters in an interview that the results of this study could appear later this year.
“There are two tasks here, the first is to determine whether this image is real or reconstructed. This is also a technologically significant issue currently being addressed. The second is the aspect associated with the fact that we can somehow sign the original images and determine that they are genuine. Such technologies are under development. As for normative determination, I think that will happen a little later,” Shoitov said. Asked who developed these technologies, Shoitov replied “both”.
According to Shoitov, there are already “certain approaches” in this area, and some results may emerge as early as this year. “Deepfakes are of course an urgent problem, because artificial intelligence can actually create a kind of virtual video that mimics reality. But there is a fine line here between artwork and something that can directly harm or mislead citizens’ rights,” he said.
Formerly Roskomnadzor presented Tougher penalties for spreading deepfakes. In particular, it is noted that we are talking about unreliable politically and socially significant public speeches and statements of officials.
Deepfake consists of realistic substitutions of photos, videos and audio materials.
