So-called deepfakes, that is, images and videos generated with the help of artificial intelligence, are becoming increasingly difficult to detect. An international research team from the University of Tokyo and the Max Planck Institute for Informatics in Saarbrücken, Germany, has developed a method that identifies manipulated videos more reliably than previous approaches—not by searching for visual artifacts, but by analyzing the naturalness of facial expressions. In tests on established benchmark datasets, the approach achieved an average detection accuracy of more than 95 percent and successfully identified manipulations that caused many existing detectors to fail.So-called deepfakes, that is, images and videos generated with the help of artificial intelligence, are becoming increasingly difficult to detect.

Martin Scorsese recently announced that he will be joining generative artificial intelligence (AI) company Black Forest Labs. He said he would embrace AI for storyboarding—the practice of creating a visual outline in the early stages of developing a movie or TV show.Martin Scorsese recently announced that he will be joining generative artificial intelligence (AI) company Black Forest Labs.

Engineers often use vision-language models to produce new designs, such as airplane or automobile components. To simulate how those components will perform in realistic situations, they’ll use tried-and-true computer-aided design (CAD) software to generate 3D models of those designs, which they can put through virtual crash or durability tests.Engineers often use vision-language models to produce new designs, such as airplane or automobile components.

An era in which robots decide “how to walk” on their own has arrived. A four-legged robot has been developed that, much like a person or an animal, autonomously chooses the appropriate gait strategy for its surroundings—changing its gait on stairs, leaping over gaps and keeping its balance on forest trails.An era in which robots decide “how to walk” on their own has arrived.

An international research team involving the University of Bayreuth has, for the first time, analyzed the “inner workings” of AI language models when predicting political voting decisions. To do so, the researchers examined six national elections and AI-based election forecasts and developed a new method for making more precise predictions. They presented their findings at the International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML 2026) in Seoul, South Korea.An international research team involving the University of Bayreuth has, for the first time, analyzed the “inner workings” of AI language models when predicting political voting decisions.
