New research shows that people who are better at object recognition are also more likely to identify AI-generated faces correctly.

The stronger this ability, the more accurately a person can tell whether a face is real or artificial.

The findings suggest that a broad visual skill, rather than technical knowledge, helps determine who is more resilient to digital deception.

By identifying traits that make some individuals less susceptible to AI-generated misinformation, the research sheds light on how human perception operates in a rapidly changing visual landscape.
