The company developed this dataset in collaboration with Jigsaw – a tech incubator created by Google. Plus, FaceForenesics Benchmark, a program developed by the Technical University of Munich and the University Federico II of Naples, that helps researchers create techniques to detect artificial videos, will incorporate the dataset. Google said it worked with actors over the past year to create deekfake videos for this dataset: While some videos are real, others are created by imposing one actor’s face onto another. You can see an example below:

Google said it’ll be adding more videos to the dataset soon. Hopefully, such efforts will help researchers create helpful solutions to detect deepfakes more efficiently.
