U.S. Military researchers work to fix easily fooled AI

September 19, 2019
NPR’s All Things Considered talked to EECS professor Dawn Song about her AI work with traffic signs to explain how U.S. Military researchers are working to combat what they call “adversarial artificial intelligence.” That’s when someone hacks into an AI system to transmit the wrong information.

Adobe Research and UC Berkeley: Detecting Facial Manipulations in Adobe Photoshop

June 19, 2019
UC Berkeley and Adobe researchers have developed a method for detecting edits to images that were made using Photoshop’s Face Aware Liquify feature. While still in its early stages, this collaboration between Adobe Research and UC Berkeley, is a step towards democratizing image forensics, the science of uncovering and analyzing changes to digital images.

AI researchers race to detect ‘deepfake’ videos: ‘We are outgunned’

June 13, 2019
EECS graduate student Shruti Agarwal and incoming professor Hany Farid argue that powerful new AI software has effectively democratized the creation of convincing “deepfake” videos, making it easier than ever to fabricate someone appearing to say or do something they didn’t really do.

Cassie Cal makes campus moves on hovershoes

June 12, 2019
A new video by the Hybrid Robotics Group shows bipedal robot Cassie Cal riding in hovershoes down a few stairs, on uneven outdoor terrain, up and down steep inclines and leaning into a turn to navigate corners.

Squishy robots can drop from a helicopter and land safely

April 24, 2019
New soccer-ball-shaped robots, created by engineers at Berkeley and Squishy Robotics, can fall hundreds of feet and be no worse for wear, or shape-shift in order to crawl from one point to another.

Clever clumsiness: Self-taught walking robot

January 9, 2019
Researchers from the Berkeley AI Research Lab and Google Brain have taught a robot to teach itself how to walk, through trial and error, in just two hours; the results “are as awkward as they are magical.”

Artificial intelligence opens health data privacy to attack

December 21, 2018
Current privacy laws and regulations are nowhere near sufficient to keep an individual’s health data private in the face of advances in artificial intelligence, according to a new study from IEOR professor Anil Aswani and his team.
