Furthermore, many models detect visual and semantic patterns, but are not able to identify unique fingerprints.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Underperformance in real-world scenarios<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: current technologies work well on public figures or controlled content, but show a drastic drop in accuracy with ordinary citizens or real scenarios. Even a 2-3% error can alter electoral, legal or financial outcomes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Social and ethical implications<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: mass surveillance can compromise privacy. False positives or negatives undermine trust in institutions, media and democratic processes. Human errors in the interpretation of results also generate risks of censorship, exclusion or defamation.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What begins as a technical challenge evolves into a <\/span><b>cultural, societal, and legal<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> issue.
