Researchers at Pennsylvania State University and China's Shandong and
Zhejiang universities found most application programming interfaces (APIs)
using the facial liveness verification detection feature of facial
recognition technology do not always identify deepfakes, and those that can
are less effective than claimed at detecting deepfakes. The researchers
created and used the LiveBugger deepfake-powered attack framework to
evaluate six commercial facial liveness verification APIs. LiveBugger tried
to …
