\n It\u2019s a common saying that the eyes are the windows to the soul. Now, researchers claim that they can also reveal deepfakes with the help of tools that study galaxies\u00a0 \u2014 by looking at eyeballs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the research by Adejumoke Owolabi, master\u2019s student at the University of Hull in the UK, it\u2019s all about how the light is reflected in the eyes.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Working together with Kevin Pimbblet, astrophysics professor and director of the Centre of Excellence for Data Science<\/a>, Artificial Intelligence and Modelling,<\/span>\u00a0Owolabi compared real images with AI-generated deepfakes. To analyse the reflections of light in they eyes of both groups, the team used two astronomy tools: the Gini Index and the CAS system.<\/p>\n

The Gini Index measures the concentration of light within a picture of a galaxy based on pixels. Depending on whether the Gini value is 0 or 1, researchers can identify if a galaxy\u2019s structure is smooth or clustered \u2014 indicating the shape of elliptical or spiral galaxies, respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n

TNW Conference 2025 – Back to NDSM on June 19-20, 2025 – Save the date!<\/p>\n

As we wrapp<\/a>ed up our incredible 2024 edition, we’re pleased to announce our return to Amsterdam NDSM in 2025. Registration now!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Similarly, the CAS system enables astronomers to measure the light distribution in galaxies in order to identify their morphology.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The team used both tools to compare the left and right eyeballs in the real and deepfake images. While the CAS system proved unsuccessful in determining deepfakes, they found that the Gini Index showed a telling difference.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If the light reflections in both eyes match, then it\u2019s likely a real photo. If not, the results indicate a deepfake.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important to note that this is not a silver bullet for detecting fake images,\u201d professor Pimbblet said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere are false positives and false negatives; it\u2019s not going to get everything. But this method provides us with a basis, a plan of attack, in the arms race to detect deepfakes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The rapid rise of deepfakes comes with a series<\/a> of serious risks: from fraud attempts to sexual harassment<\/a> and political manipulation<\/a>. Among efforts to combat related threats, it seems astronomy could also offer a potential solution. <\/span>\n <\/div>\n
