Alphabet has released a service for recognizing fake photos

Alphabet Jigsaw (owned by Google) presented Assembler service, which is designed to determine the authenticity of a photo and recognize editing traces. It is able to detect changes made even with the help of neural networks.

Assembler can show merging images, copying objects, deepfakes, color anomalies, background changes and any other "photoshop". In theory, the service's capabilities would allow news agency reporters to recognize fake photographs, which often become the basis for high-profile articles. Assembler is currently being tested by some of the major media outlets: Animal Politico, Rappler and Agence France-Presse.

Going forward, Jingsaw plans to create an interactive platform that will display the largest disinformation companies around the world. This kind of blackboard of shame should become a filter of modern news, which will prevent the spread of fakes. Assembler will be provided free of charge to the media, but the service is unlikely to be widely available.
