According to a VNA correspondent in Sydney, Monash University and the Australian Federal Police (AFP) are collaborating to develop a groundbreaking new Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool to slow down and prevent criminals from creating harmful deepfake images and child abuse material using AI.
The tool, called Silverer, is a product of the AI Lab for Law Enforcement and Community Safety (AiLECS), a strategic research collaboration between the AFP and Monash University that applies AI to complex law enforcement and security challenges. Currently in its pilot phase, the tool is being developed under the leadership of Monash University PhD student Elizabeth Perry.
According to Monash University, the project uses a technique called “Data Poisoning” as a core technique in this new tool. This technique involves subtly altering online source data, making it significantly more difficult for AI and Machine Learning (ML) models to create, manipulate, and misuse images or videos .
Since AI tools require large amounts of source data, data poisoning causes the model to produce inaccurate, skewed, or corrupted results, making it easier to detect fake images or videos created by criminals.
Perry, a PhD student, explains that users can use Silverer to edit images before uploading them to social media or the internet. This will change the pixels to fool the AI model, making their output distorted, covered in “distortions,” or completely unrecognizable.
Associate Professor Campbell Wilson - co-director of AiLECS and digital forensics expert - said the creation of fake and malicious images using open source technology was becoming a more serious problem due to its ease of use.
AFP has documented a rise in AI-generated child abuse material, as criminals exploit the technology to produce and share large quantities of fake pornography online.
Monash University said the overall goal of the Silverer project is to develop easy-to-use technology for Australians who want to protect their personal data on social media. A pilot version of the tool is currently being considered for internal use within the AFP./.
