Exposing fraudulent digital images with Virtual Inspection
It was estimated in 2020 that the world captured well over 1.4 trillion digital images per year; we can only assume that figure has grown significantly since then. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the world has increased its reliance on digital communication and information. In short, digital imagery is becoming increasingly entwined with our work, lives, and decision-making processes. Concurrently, advances in artificial intelligence and editing tools have made it possible to easily manipulate or completely synthesize media for malicious or deceptive purposes. This comparison of reliance and manipulation of digital media has real consequences on our world and society. COVID-19 accelerated a pre-existing trend in business: the digitization of financial and enterprise transactions, the majority of which require image capture/display as a critical component. Businesses and their customers benefit from digital transactions in terms of speed, ease, and convenience. However, one significant concern is trust — how can businesses and their customers be confident that financial decisions are being made based on high integrity and trustworthy imagery?
Digital manipulation of Images
While this may appear a little severe, photo manipulation techniques stretch back almost as far as the history of photography itself to the 19th century. Now with Photoshop, modern digital manipulation tools have advanced to unprecedented heights. Such tools can create fantastical images pixel by pixel, undetectable to the naked sight. It’s easy to see how even modest modifications may completely transform the narrative. For instance, a quick reorganization of words and characters on a document can modify dates, declarations and pricing amounts. Many individuals have relied on the photographic image as a true and accurate representation until now. This may be seen in the press and media, where controversies involving altered photographs being used as “fake news” are common.
