As the arms race between artificial intelligence (AI) deepfake images and detection methods intensifies, recent advancements in astronomy are proving invaluable. Astronomical techniques designed to analyze and interpret light in distant celestial objects are now being adapted to identify and combat deepfakes. Deepfake images, a fusion of “deep learning” and “fakes,” are generated by sophisticated AI algorithms that mimic real images with high accuracy. This AI technology can replace faces or alter visuals to create misleading or fabricated content. The
