THE AI ANGLE
Screening manipulated video streams

UCLA researchers built a hybrid optical processor that uses light diffraction to detect deepfakes across multiple video streams at once. The passive optical hardware evaluates frames in parallel without the high energy demands of digital neural networks. This architecture gives engineers an attack-resilient screening filter for high-volume video analysis.

THE TEACHING ANGLE
Running inference through physical optical diffraction prevents attackers from easily measuring or reverse engineering model parameters.
