Recent studies reveal that AI-generated faces have become so convincing that people can barely distinguish them from real photos—achieving only 58% accuracy, just slightly better than chance. But researchers from the University of Aberdeen and Australian National University found that targeted training can boost detection rates to 80% within an hour. As deepfake fraud costs are projected to hit £40 billion in the US next year, the findings suggest human judgment may be our strongest defense.

Meta's shares rallied nearly 15% this week, marking the best weekly performance since early 2024, as the company unveiled new AI models and detailed plans to monetize its massive infrastructure investments.
