Identifying fake cosmetics using artificial intelligence
Summary
This article investigates using AI models to verify cosmetic authenticity from photos. It documents an experiment with Google Gemini examining three Rhode Peptide Lip Tint packages, highlighting both successful detections (typos, distributor conflicts, postal codes) and failures due to photo artifacts. It concludes that AI can assist but is not foolproof, and authentic products can also contain typos, underscoring the need for additional anti-counterfeiting measures.
