| contents | In this paper, we investigate the counter-forensic effects of the new JPEG AI standard based on neural image compression, focusing on two critical areas: deepfake image detection and image splicing localization. Neural image compression leverages advanced neural network algorithms to achieve higher compression rates while maintaining image quality. However, it introduces artifacts that closely resemble those generated by image synthesis techniques and image splicing pipelines, complicating the work of researchers when discriminating pristine from manipulated content. We comprehensively analyze JPEG AI's counter-forensic effects through extensive experiments on several state-of-the-art detectors and datasets. Our results demonstrate a reduction in the performance of leading forensic detectors when analyzing content processed through JPEG AI. By exposing the vulnerabilities of the available forensic tools, we aim to raise the urgent need for multimedia forensics researchers to include JPEG AI images in their experimental setups and develop robust forensic techniques to distinguish between neural compression artifacts and actual manipulations. |
