Deepfakes and voice clones are undermining election integrity

As the volume of digital business rises year over year, the potential for AI-enhanced digital fraud increases with it, according to TeleSign. A new TeleSign report highlights consumer concerns and uncertainty about how AI is being deployed, particularly regarding digital privacy, and emphasizes the need for ethical AI and ML use to combat fraud, hacking, and misinformation (aka “AI for good”). With a record number of voters heading to the polls in 2024, it also … More → The post Deepfakes and voice clones are undermining election integrity appeared first on Help Net Security.

Researchers develop fastest possible flow algorithm

Computer scientists have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum transport costs for any type of network. It thus solves a key question in theoretical computer science. The superfast algorithm also lays the foundation for efficiently computing very large and dynamically changing networks in the future.

New deep-learning model outperforms Google AI system in predicting peptide structures

Researchers have developed a deep-learning model, called PepFlow, that can predict all possible shapes of peptides — chains of amino acids that are shorter than proteins, but perform similar biological functions. Peptides are known to be highly flexible, taking on a wide range of folding patterns, and are thus involved in many biological processes of interest to researchers in the development of therapeutics.
