According to the Russian news agency Sputnik, at the "Artificial Intelligence World Tour" in Moscow, there was a very interesting episode, the head of the data research department of Sberbank, Nikolai Gerasimhen, introduced Russian President Vladimir Putin to the methods of identifying fake photos and videos.
During the event, Gerasimon talked about his experience working with Google's artificial intelligence and compared photos of the Chinese and American missions to the moon.
After the results of the analysis, Sberbank President German Gref told Putin: "Google's neural network almost considers all the objects on the American photo to be fake." At the same time, this photograph taken by the Chinese lunar rover does not raise any special questions."
Putin's expression was particularly interesting, he first touched the wing of his nose, then pointed to the American photo and asked, "So it thinks it's fake?"
"Yes, that's right," said Gref. This is the result of Google's neural network, not our analysis, so there is no bias, which is surprising, but it is true. ”
Gerasimon added: "Google's neural network analyzed a lot of data, including light and dark contrasts, and concluded that the photo was composited. ”
When Putin heard this, he first shook his head, and then said playfully: "Very interesting." ”
The incident of the US moon landing fraud has always been accompanied by widespread doubts and controversies. In May of this year, a tweet by Elon Musk, the head of Tesla, once again sparked discussion about the falsification of the US moon landing.
The tweet was very simple, actually a single sentence: "They simulated the moon landing with a computer" and accompanied by a picture of CGI technology from the last century.
Musk is quite kind and did not name names, but everyone concluded that what he was referring to must be a fraud of the US moon landing. This confusing historical event for decades has once again led to a controversy in the world.
From a non-professional point of view, the suspicious points of the U.S. moon landing photos are roughly as follows: First, the U.S. flag fluttering in the photo. As we all know, the moon does not have an atmosphere, which means that there can be no wind on the lunar surface, so why does the flag flutter?
It is believed that this is due to the structure of the flag itself, and that the gravitational pull of the moon is small, and it may take some time for the flag to return to rest from its vibration.
Second, there is no starry sky background in the photo. In the vast depths, the starry sky is undoubtedly the most common natural phenomenon, but the photos released by the United States of America show the astronauts behind the astronauts, so some people believe that the photos were taken in a studio.
Regarding the analysis of this doubt, some scientists believe that it may be because the light on the lunar surface is strong, and the exposure time is insufficient, resulting in the light of the stars in the deep sky is not enough to be recorded. It would be arbitrary to conclude that the photographs were taken in a studio based on this alone.
As for other doubts, including the problem of perspective, the problem of radiation, the question of the composition of lunar soil, and so on, the list goes on, but the vast majority of the views are only doubtful, but no conclusive evidence can be produced.
The only puzzling thing is that the United States sent astronauts to the moon in 1969, and in the next half century, no country has been able to replicate this feat, not even the United States itself.
Since the beginning of the new century, the United States has repeatedly clamored for a return to the moon, but there seems to be no sense of urgency, and there has been no other movement except for the launch of an unmanned ship. This also makes people wonder, do you not want to board, or can't you board?
If it says that it does not want to be listed, why does NASA threaten to compete with China for a long time? If it is said that it cannot be registered, is it a technological regression, or is it a fraud back then?
All of this is so many that it is difficult to solve. However, in any case, it does not matter whether the US moon landing was fake, what is important is that the mainland must uphold the spirit of scientific exploration and responsibility for the future and destiny of mankind to develop aviation technology, rather than repeating the so-called "Star Wars" farce of the past.
