At three o'clock in the morning, the lights of the "Daystar" AI Security Laboratory are still as bright as day. Somemeer rubbed the sore corners of her eyes, and ran her fingertips across the dense parameter curves on the touch screen. The blue light of the screen reflected on her angular face, making her dark eyes even sharper.
As the country's top AI deepfake detector, her job is like looking for a needle in a sea of lies in billions of pixels - digging out clues that have been tampered with by algorithms from seemingly seamless videos and pictures. The coffee on the table has cooled down, and the water droplets on the wall of the cup are sliding down the cup body, and a small water stain has spread on the table. It is very similar to the pixel distortion that seeped from the edge of the tampered background layer in the celebrity "nude photo scandal" she dealt with last night.
"Sister Meier, are you still looking at the samples of the 'Phoenix Project'?" Intern Lin Xiaoyu came over with a cup of hot coffee and carefully placed it in her hand. "The team leader said that this batch of data involves military industry secrets. If it doesn't work, just put it on hold and wait until tomorrow?"
Somer shook his head, tapped his fingertips on the screen, and called up a blurry surveillance video: "Look here."
