\tThe threat of deepfakes identified at an early stage\u00a0<\/p>\n
The idea behind the sensor chips originated as a side project at the Bio Engineering Laboratory at ETH Zurich. Long before AI systems like ChatGPT became a subject of public debate, the laboratory had been working on highly sensitive sensors to measure electrical signals from living cells. The interdisciplinary team also had the necessary expertise to incorporate additional cryptographic functions directly into the sensor chips. \u201cThe danger posed by deepfakes was foreseeable,\u201d recalls Franke. Therefore, as early as 2017, the plan was devised to develop a sensor the data of which could not be manipulated without detection.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The chip described in a paper published today is a working prototype and demonstrates technical feasibility. Further steps are still required prior to commercial deployment. Nevertheless, the researchers are confident that, with current technologies and processes, the chip can be developed into a working, market-ready product. They have therefore filed a patent application. \u201cWe are currently exploring how to reduce costs for camera and sensor manufacturers should they wish to incorporate the new technology into their chips,\u201d reports Cardes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The work was financially supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) and the State Secretariat for Education, Research, and Innovation (SBFI) through the SwissChips initiative.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The threat of deepfakes identified at an early stage\u00a0 The idea behind the sensor chips originated as a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":37812,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[6],"tags":[6244,5641,51],"class_list":["post-37811","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-zurich","tag-microtechnology","tag-press-release","tag-zurich"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ch\/116284474333595588","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37811","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37811"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37811\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37812"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37811"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37811"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37811"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
