You can spot AI-generated photos by doing a quick background check, looking closely for weird details in the picture, and seeing what the pro fact-checkers have to say <\/strong><\/p>\n

On the 10th annual International Fact-Checking Day, it is a good time to review how to identify AI-generated disinformation,\u00a0News.Az reports, citing\u00a0Euronews.<\/span><\/p>\n

This type of content is appearing everywhere, from the US-Iran war to the lead-up to the Hungarian elections, and even on individual feeds.<\/p>\n

A recent study, published in the journal PNAS Nexus, asked 27,000 people from 27 EU countries to rank eight human- and AI-generated news headlines on how real they appeared.<\/p>\n

Nearly half of the AI-generated headlines were considered \u201cmostly\u201d or \u201ccompletely real,\u201d compared with 44 per cent of those written by humans. They were also more likely to share and trust an AI-generated news story than one written by humans if they knew it dealt with a real news event.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, respondents said they were less likely to share a news story, written by a human or AI, if they knew it was fake.<\/p>\n

The findings indicate that people are unable to distinguish between human- and AI-generated content, the researchers said.<\/p>\n

Here are some tips for how to do that.<\/p>\n

Look for visual cues<\/h2>\n

The first AI videos that were generated online had some obvious tells: humans with too many fingers, voices out of synch with the audio, or objects that were distorted.<\/p>\n

There are fewer signs like this now because the technology has evolved, but it’s still worth looking for them.<\/p>\n

Users can watch for inconsistencies, such as a car that is in a video one moment and gone the next.<\/p>\n
