Abstract

To create a photo lineup for an eyewitness, police embed the suspect in a group of similar-looking individuals (i.e., fillers). If the witness selects the suspect from these photos of similar-looking people, then this provides evidence they remember the suspect from the crime event. Selecting appropriate fillers is one of the most difficult aspects of lineup construction. In these studies, we explore the feasibility of using artificial intelligence (AI) to generate images of fake people to serve as fillers in a photo lineup. Our results show that people largely fail to detect the differences in a lineup between the real photo of the suspect and the AI-generated fillers. Across different identification outcomes and related decision criteria, we found no evidence of differences between lineups with real and AI-generated fillers. Our study focused on a white, male target and future research is needed to test the generalizability of these findings. We conclude by discussing the feasibility and implications of the use of this technology in police investigations.

人工智能生成的人脸能否作为目击者排查的填充物?
为了给目击证人提供照片指认,警察把嫌疑犯安插在一群长相相似的人当中(也就是填充者)。如果证人从这些长相相似的人的照片中选择嫌疑人,那么这就提供了他们记得犯罪事件中的嫌疑人的证据。选择合适的填料是阵容建设中最困难的方面之一。在这些研究中,我们探索了使用人工智能(AI)生成假人图像作为照片阵容中的填充物的可行性。我们的研究结果表明,人们在很大程度上无法检测出嫌疑人的真实照片和人工智能生成的填充照片之间的差异。在不同的识别结果和相关的决策标准中,我们没有发现使用真实填充物和人工智能生成填充物的阵容之间存在差异的证据。我们的研究主要集中在白人男性目标上,未来的研究需要测试这些发现的普遍性。最后,我们讨论了在警方调查中使用这项技术的可行性和影响。

期刊介绍: Memory publishes high quality papers in all areas of memory research. This includes experimental studies of memory (including laboratory-based research, everyday memory studies, and applied memory research), developmental, educational, neuropsychological, clinical and social research on memory. By representing all significant areas of memory research, the journal cuts across the traditional distinctions of psychological research. Memory therefore provides a unique venue for memory researchers to communicate their findings and ideas both to peers within their own research tradition in the study of memory, and also to the wider range of research communities with direct interest in human memory.
