Abstract

AI is increasingly used to enhance images and videos, both intentionally and unintentionally. As AI editing tools become more integrated into smartphones, users can modify or animate photos into realistic videos. This study examines the impact of AI-altered visuals on false memories--recollections of events that didn't occur or deviate from reality. In a pre-registered study, 200 participants were divided into four conditions of 50 each. Participants viewed original images, completed a filler task, then saw stimuli corresponding to their assigned condition: unedited images, AI-edited images, AI-generated videos, or AI-generated videos of AI-edited images. AI-edited visuals significantly increased false recollections, with AI-generated videos of AI-edited images having the strongest effect (2.05x compared to control). Confidence in false memories was also highest for this condition (1.19x compared to control). We discuss potential applications in HCI, such as therapeutic memory reframing, and challenges in ethical, legal, political, and societal domains.

合成人类记忆：人工智能编辑的图像和视频可植入虚假记忆并扭曲回忆

人工智能越来越多地被有意或无意地用于增强图像和视频效果。随着人工智能编辑工具越来越多地集成到智能手机中，用户可以将照片修改或制作成逼真的动画视频。本研究探讨了人工智能修改后的视觉效果对虚假记忆的影响，即对没有发生或偏离现实的事件的回忆。在一项预先登记的研究中，200 名参与者被分为四种情况，每种情况 50 人。参与者观看原始图像，完成一项填充任务，然后观看与其指定条件相对应的刺激物：未经编辑的图像、经过人工智能编辑的图像、人工智能生成的视频或人工智能生成的经过人工智能编辑的图像的视频。人工智能编辑过的视觉效果显著增加了错误回忆，其中人工智能编辑过的图像的人工智能生成视频效果最强（是对照组的 2.05 倍），错误回忆的可信度在该条件下也最高（是对照组的 1.19 倍）。我们讨论了人机交互的潜在应用，如治疗记忆重构，以及伦理、法律、政治和社会领域的挑战。
