How to spot deepfakes and AI-generated images

It can sometimes be difficult to spot AI-generated videos such as deepfakes, in which a person’s facial expression or speech is generated or altered.

Google’s AI Course for Beginners (in 10 minutes)!

In this video, we unravel the layers of AI, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and their applications in tools like ChatGPT and Google Bard/Gemini.

We first go through how AI is a broad field of study that encompasses machine learning as a sub-field.

We then break down Machine Learning into supervised and unsupervised models, using real-world examples to illustrate their functions and differences.

We move deeper into Deep Learning: Learn about artificial neural networks and the power of semi-supervised learning in applications like fraud detection in banking.

Then we delve into Generative AI, differentiating it from discriminative models and demonstrating its capabilities in creating new, innovative outputs.

Finally, we walk through Large Language Models (LLMs) and uncover the significance of LLMs in AI, their pre-training processes, and their customization for specific industry applications.
