Continual Learning Worsens Deepfake Detector Unfairness, Study Finds

A new research paper published on arXiv explores how continual machine learning methods, used to update deepfake detectors against evolving generation techniques, can inadvertently worsen fairness issues. The study analyzed four fairness dimensions across various demographics, finding that accuracy degradation typically exacerbates unfairness, while fairness improvements are rare. The researchers observed that the way continual learning algorithms learn representations, not just underrepresentation, contributes to inequitable forgetting, and they call for these methods to consider social outcomes.
