AI tool by Adobe automatically spots Photoshopped images

The sudden spread of fake videos and pictures all around the internet has made

the world become increasingly anxious which has made Adobe — a name known for

image editing — say it shares the same concerns too.

Today, Adobe in collaboration with scientists from UC Berkeley is sharing it new research

which uses machine learning to automatically detect when an image have been altered/manipulated.

A spokesperson told The Verge that the research was just one of many “efforts across

Adobe to better detect image, video, audio and document manipulations“, despite

the company saying it doesn’t have plans to commercialize this product

“While we are proud of the impact that Photoshop and Adobe’s other creative

tools have made on the world, we also recognize the ethical implications of our technology,”

said the company in a blog post.

“Fake content is a serious and increasingly pressing issue.”

This research is designed to specifically spot edits made with Photoshop’s Liquify tool,

which is commonly used to adjust the shape of faces and alter facial expressions.

The researchers said the work was the first of its kind designed to spot these sort of facial edits,

and constitutes an “important step” toward creating tools that can identify complex changes

including “body manipulations and photometric edits such as skin smoothing.”
