Professor Simon Woo's Research Laboratory Students Win Korean Society for Information Protection Awards
SKKU students Jeon So-won (author, master's degree in software), Kang Joon-hyung (master's degree in artificial intelligence), and Hwang Jin-hee (doctor's degree in scientific investigation) won the Excellence Award (next-generation female scientist's thesis award) at the Summer Conference of the Korea Information Society(CISC-s'20).
The issue of Deepfake pornography, which is used for fake celebrity pornographic videos and individual humiliation, has recently become a social issue in Korea. Deepfake technology is abused through the creation of maliciously crafted voice and images using deep learning technologies. More and more sophisticated Deepfake generation technologies are emerging in line with the development of artificial intelligence. Since Deepfake technologies are being abused for various crimes due to the rapid speed of development and high accessibility, there is a lack of legal regulations and countermeasures to cope with them.
In order to respond to recent social issues resulting from Deepfake abuse, the research team analyzed the current status of Deepfake generation and detection technologies, domestic and international legal regulations, and limitations of current laws and presents new roles and countermeasures for individuals and institutions.
