Your brain currently keeps clear and detailed memories of events that have happened. These are false images created by artificial intelligence – but even if at the time he was aware of it, at this moment he has difficulty distinguishing from real events.
You will probably see videos online circular Donald Trump e Elon Musk Doing extravagant things – recreating scenes from the Breaking Bad television series, for example.
May also have seen filming by the US President and the Tesla CEO to dance to the sound of the success ‘Ymca’ of the Village People during a holiday party.
The important question is that one of these things It really happened – While the other is a fiction created with artificial intelligence.
Probably, Remember both images. But you can remember What is the real event, and the fictitious?
In psychology, a ‘Source Monitoring Structure‘describes the processes involved in identification of the origin of our memories. The structure records the source of a memory as a piece of information. It is encoded in memory along with other aspects of what we have experienced.
The ‘label’ that indicates where the memory came from can easily fadeeven while other aspects of memory persist, explain to us.
In this way, in our minds, the Images generated by IA are at risk of being confused with real -world events. And this is A problem that can get worse as the quality of the images and the videos created by Improvement.
This separation between the contents of a memory versus its source happens constantly. How often a actor recognizes the face of an actor on the screen, but despite his familiarity, can not remember that other movies or television shows saw him?
These memory failures help explain how easy it is to manipulate ‘false memories’, show several studies conducted by Elizabeth Loftusrenowned American psychologist who, says, changed the “meaning of memory”.
In his research, Loftus noted that when certain ideas are suggested by us, incorporate them into our own mindsbut later We forget where the ideas initially came from. They can then be easily confused with events that really happened to us.
According to Loftus’s discoveries, it seems likely that AI is able to easily plant false memories in our minds – Especially if we consume artificial content in an environment similar to that in which we consume real news.
And this is another aspect to consider in the ongoing discussions in the scientific media, obey artificial intelligence: how we can mark the content generated by IA so that we are easier to remember that It’s not real.
However, if you have doubts… Yes, Elon and Donald – and the images are not Deepfake. Already was done by AI.
