Welcome back to The FAIK Files!

In this week's episode:

• Google announces the Gemini 3 collection and the new Antigravity IDE.
• New research reveals how AI-edited images and videos can successfully implant false memories.
• We look at Parallel Multimodal Large Diffusion Language Models.
• Russian bloggers are using AI-generated videos to depict false scenarios regarding Ukrainian troops.

AI-Edited Images and Videos Can Implant False Memories and Distort Recollection:

• AI-edited images and especially AI-generated videos can cause people to confidently remember events that never happened.
• Paper: https://dspace.mit.edu/bitstream/handle/1721.1/162835/3706598.3713697.pdf
• Participants were first shown original images, then after a delay they were shown a stimulus corresponding to their assigned condition, and later memory tests were applied to check recall and confidence.
• Across 200 participants: AI-generated videos made from AI-edited images created 2.05× more false memories.
• They were also more confident in those false memories (1.19× increase)
