Google AI Says The Moon Landing Images Are Fake But The Chinese Moon Landing Was Real, Putin Seems Amused

According to the Russian news agency Sputnik, at the "Artificial Intelligence World Tour" in Moscow, there was a very interesting episode, the head of the data research department of Sberbank, Nikolai Gerasimhen, introduced Russian President Vladimir Putin to the methods of identifying fake photos and videos.

During the event, Gerasimon talked about his experience working with Google's artificial intelligence and compared photos of the Chinese and American missions to the moon.

After the results of the analysis, Sberbank President German Gref told Putin: "Google's neural network almost considers all the objects on the American photo to be fake." At the same time, this photograph taken by the Chinese lunar rover does not raise any special questions."

Putin's expression was particularly interesting, he first touched the wing of his nose, then pointed to the American photo and asked, "So it thinks it's fake?"

"Yes, that's right," said Gref. This is the result of Google's neural network, not our analysis, so there is no bias, which is surprising, but it is true. ”

Gerasimon added: "Google's neural network analyzed a lot of data, including light and dark contrasts, and concluded that the photo was composited. ”

When Putin heard this, he first shook his head, and then said playfully: "Very interesting." ”
