In this week's edition of Facts About Fiction, we explore strategies to identify fake images and protect ourselves.

Reverse image search

To determine the authenticity of an image, the first step is to conduct a reverse image search. This can be done using the Google Lens application on smartphones or through the browser on a laptop or computer. Another alternative is to use the 'Yandex' search engine.

Reverse image search allows us to see if the image has been used previously on social media platforms or articles, providing important context.

If reverse image search doesn't yield any results, describing the image using relevant keywords on Google search can also help in finding the image.

AI image detectors

If you suspect that an image has been generated using AI, there are several AI image detectors available. Some popular options include Hive Moderation, Optic AI, and Not and Maybe's AI Art Detector.

These tools can assist in determining if an image has been manipulated or generated artificially.
