Reuters quoted Siwei Lyu in a fact check article about an AI-generated image showing the president of Mexico wearing a hat that said, “Make America Mexicana Again.”
A paper authored by Jinjun Xiong, SUNY Empire Innovation Professor in Computer Science and Engineering, earned the 2024 Best Paper Award from the IEEE Transactions on Radiation and Plasma Medical Sciences (TRPMS) journal.
Agence France-Presse (AFP) also quoted Siwei Lyu in a story reporting on a fake image depicting first responders climbing on the floating remains of the American Airlines passenger jet that collided with an Army Blackhawk helicopter over Washington, D.C.
The Washington Post highlighted Deepcover, a free app developed in UB’s Center for Information Integrity, co-directed by Siwei Lyu, in an article about a research collective teaching older adults about online safety.
Reuters quoted Siwei Lyu in a fact-check article about an AI-generated video of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer referring to claims against late sex offender Jimmy Savile as “slightly frivolous.”
