July 10 (Reuters) - ⁠A new AI detection tool from Meta, which the tech company previewed this week alongside the launch ⁠of its image-generation model, Muse Image, failed to identify some of its own AI-generated images once ‌they were cropped, according to a Reuters analysis.

The finding highlights the challenges of verifying AI-generated images after common alterations, a limitation that could make it harder to identify deepfakes online during a busy election year that includes the U.S. midterms.
