New Delhi. Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said on Saturday that a new update of ‘Improved Image Matching’ is being launched on X. It will monitor deepfakes as well as shallowfakes on social media platforms. “We have just released an update that will identify any fake images,” X said in a post.
Musk said that this step will help in defeating deepfakes (and shallowfakes). Shallowfakes are photos, videos, and voice clips created without the aid of artificial intelligence (AI), and using widely available editing and software tools.
