What happens when AI detectors fail? Researchers say we must be trained to spot fake AI faces
Researchers say spotting AI faces may soon depend more on people than software
Zuckerberg Deepfake

Artificial intelligence has become remarkably good at creating fake human faces. So good, in fact, that the old tricks people relied on - counting fingers, spotting warped earrings, or looking for distorted backgrounds - are quickly becoming obsolete. According to a new study highlighted by the BBC, the next line of defence may not be a better AI detector at all. It might simply be a better-trained human.

Researchers from the University of Aberdeen, working alongside Australia's National University, found that people can dramatically improve their ability to distinguish AI-generated faces from real ones after a relatively short period of structured training. Instead of hunting for obvious visual glitches, participants were taught to recognise subtle patterns that modern image generators still struggle to replicate consistently.

Google’s new Magic Pointer Play Store listing reveals a Gemini shortcut built for Googlebooks

Magic Pointer can send an image to Lens, generate a related image, or surface a shopping action without forcing users to open a separate chatbot. Regular Android devices currently show as incompatible, so the listing offers an early preview rather than a broad release.

AI Chatbots

More people are trying to use less AI, but avoiding it altogether may already be impossible.

A survey of 2,055 UK adults found that 42% deliberately limit how much AI they use. Another 70% said avoiding AI exposure would be difficult or impossible, even when they actively wanted less of it.
