Implemented by the Google Research team in 2017, the Colaboratory project allows anyone to write and run code in the Python software language through the browser. The platform, which is mainly used for machine learning, training and data analysis, today belongs to Google his reaction to deepfakes It came forward with a piece of news.

Google Colaboratory, which has become home to artificial intelligence researchers in recent years, has signed a limit so far, although it isn’t very restrictive in content. Deepfake generator on the platform DeepFaceLab Banned† Anyone trying to use the tool has encountered a warning from Google:

DeepFaceLab is banned on Google Colab:

“You may be executing unauthorized code and this may limit your ability to use Colab in the future. Please be aware of the prohibited actions described in our FAQ.”

DeepFaceLab is preferred by those who want to produce deepfake content these days. one of the most popular tools† It was actually based on a change that sounded quiet when Google removed this tool from Colab. Over the past two weeks, Google has quietly changed Colab’s terms of use and banned deepfake generators.

While DeepFaceLab is still live on Github, the removal of Google Colab will leave a big hole. Google Colab was able to run Python codes directly from Google’s tools. good The graphics power needed for deepfake was provided for free by Google.† However, with the removal of the vehicle from Colab, only those with a powerful graphics card will be able to drive the vehicle. Likewise, while the tool is believed to have been removed for ethical reasons, it is believed that areas such as artificial intelligence and student education could also be adversely affected.

Here’s an example using DeepFaceLab:
