A combination photograph shows an image purporting to be of British student and freelance writer Oliver Taylor and a heat map of the same photograph produced by Tel Aviv-based deepfake detection company CyabraShare this contentOnline profiles describe him as a coffee lover and politics junkie who was raised in a traditional Jewish home.
Masri and Barnard were taken aback by the allegation, which they deny. But they were also baffled as to why a university student would single them out. Masri said he pulled up Taylor's profile photo. He couldn't put his finger on it, he said, but something about the young man's face"seemed off.
The threat is drawing increasing concern in Washington and Silicon Valley. Last year House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff warned that computer-generated video could"turn a world leader into a ventriloquist's dummy." Brahmy said investigators chasing the origin of such photos are left"searching for a needle in a haystack – except the needle doesn't exist."
After Reuters began asking about Taylor, The Algemeiner and the Times of Israel deleted his work. Taylor emailed both papers protesting the removal, but Times of Israel Opinion Editor Miriam Herschlag said she rebuffed him after he failed to prove his identity. Efune said he didn't respond to Taylor's messages.
