Brush passes may sound old-school, but in an age of deepfakes and hacked phones, face-to-face spycraft can be safer than digital contact. Sometimes homeland sec

In an era dominated by digital threats like deepfakes and phone hacking, traditional spycraft methods such as face-to-face meetings are being reconsidered for their enhanced security. These older techniques, involving discreet physical exchanges, are being explored as a potentially safer alternative to digital communication for sensitive operations. The article suggests that despite technological advancements, human intelligence gathering remains a crucial component of national security. AI

IMPACT AI-driven deepfakes and digital trust erosion may necessitate a return to traditional, face-to-face intelligence gathering methods.

Can liveness detection models generalise to synthetic media generation techniques they were never trained on? [D]

Current liveness detection systems may struggle to generalize to new synthetic media generation techniques they were not trained on. Models trained on older deepfake samples might not be effective against emerging generation methods. This raises questions about the update cycles for vendors offering deepfake detection capabilities, especially when they provide confident but unspecific answers regarding this temporal gap. AI

IMPACT Questions the effectiveness of current AI models in detecting novel synthetic media, potentially impacting security and identity verification systems.
