With the continuous advancement of artificial intelligence technology, the difficulty of forging images and videos has decreased significantly, making the deepfake phenomenon increasingly severe. Identifying these false contents has become an urgent issue to address. Recently, a research team from Binghamton University conducted an in-depth discussion on this topic, using frequency domain analysis techniques to reveal the characteristics of AI-generated images, thus helping people identify false information. Image source note: The image is AI-generated, with permission from image licensing provider Midjourney. This research was conducted by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Microsoft collaborates with the anti-revenge pornography organization StopNCII to provide victims with tools to erase deepfake pornographic images from search engines. By creating a digital fingerprint (hash value) of the images on the device, it helps to completely remove related synthetic nude images from platforms like Bing. This initiative aims to address the issue of deepfake pornography caused by the misuse of generative AI technology, tackling the challenges that cannot be effectively managed solely through user reports. However, Google has not yet partnered with StopNCII, and there is a lack of specific federal laws addressing such behavior in the United States.

Microsoft is seeking user feedback on providing a faster Bing.

Microsoft plans to transfer part of the machine learning models used by Bing Search to Oracle's GPU superclusters to meet the high demand for its AI services. The multi-year agreement aims to help Microsoft cope with the growth of its AI services. The collaboration between Microsoft and Oracle signifies that Microsoft requires more computing resources to handle the expansion of its AI services.

Microsoft is conducting a poll to understand whether users prioritize improving the speed of Bing Chat or the efficiency of DALL-E 3. The integration of DALL-E 3 has led to a significant increase in usage of Bing Chat and Bing Image Creator, resulting in a decrease in generation speed. Microsoft is adding GPUs to meet user demand while also enhancing AI regulatory mechanisms. The voting will continue until Monday evening, at which point the next optimization direction will be confirmed. Previous promises by Microsoft for new Bing Chat features include third-party plugins and
