The university restored all my honors along with my graduate recommendation status.

Frankie apologized to my parents in person. He offered compensation and even promised to grant me the highest-level scholarship available.

I didn't accept it right away. "All I want is a fair investigation and the protection of all students' personal data."

Because of this, the lab project underwent a complete audit.

The risk report I had submitted ultimately became the foundation for the university to upgrad

    Three years later, I stood on the stage of the National Artificial Intelligence Security Forum.The large screen displayed our team's latest deepfake detection system. It could trace video generation pathways, identify source materials, and pinpoint anomalous modification logs within seconds.When the presentation ended, thunderous applause echoed through the hall.Someone asked me why I chose this research direction.I answered, "Because technology should never be used against innocent people. What truly needs to be restricted is never the victim's right to prove their innocence but the perpetrator's ability to forge evidence."After the forum, I received invitations from research institutes abroad. Several domestic enterprises also reached out to offer partnerships.I was in no rush to decide.My parents had already relocated to the city where I worked.Dad spent his time teaching chess in the community, while Mom filled our balcony with flowers.On weekends, I would take th

    The university restored all my honors along with my graduate recommendation status.Frankie apologized to my parents in person. He offered compensation and even promised to grant me the highest-level scholarship available.I didn't accept it right away. "All I want is a fair investigation and the protection of all students' personal data."Because of this, the lab project underwent a complete audit.The risk report I had submitted ultimately became the foundation for the university to upgrade its facial recognition data management system.My advisor came to find me. "Do you still want to work on facial recognition?"I looked at the two video clips stored on my laptop.One had my face.The other had Frankie's face.They had almost ruined my life once."Yes. But I don't want to research how to make fake faces look more real. I want to expose what's fake."Six months later, I joined a new research team.The video forensics and trace system we developed took first place in the

    The disciplinary hearing didn't continue.When my parents and I walked out of the auditorium, a crowd was waiting outside.A few students who had been the first to curse at me on the forum kept their heads down, not daring to meet my eyes.Olivia hurried after us. "Demi, the faculty were just misled by the evidence."I stopped in my tracks. "And?"Her expression turned awkward. "The university will issue a public clarification for you. Please don't let personal emotions carry over into the subsequent investigations.""When you tried to stop me from calling the police yesterday, were you misled too?"Olivia was left speechless.I refused any form of private settlement. That very evening, I had a lawyer submit a formal legal notice to the university.I demanded the disciplinary notice be publicly revoked, my reputation be fully restored, and the university be held accountable for the leak of student data and procedural violations.The next day, the university released an offici

    Ethan's tone was far too calm. It was as if he were certain he still held something over me.He turned to the police. "Demi swapped out the lab data without authorization, causing Professor Harper's face to be used in a forged video. She compromised the project just as much."Alfie chimed in immediately, "We can't just hold one side accountable here."I tapped my phone and cast an email onto the big screen.The email had been sent three days ago. The recipients were the lab director and the university's information center."The shared dataset library poses a risk of unauthorized access. Personal images may be used for unauthorized video generation. Requesting immediate suspension of sync permissions."Below it sat the automated system response. "Received. Will process as soon as possible."I turned to Alfie. "The moment I noticed my photos being organized, I filed a risk report right away. The university failed to revoke those sync permissions, so I could only use public intervi

    Jessica's lips trembled. "I was just guessing. Ethan's in charge of the lab's facial recognition project. If something went wrong with the video, of course he'd be suspected."She forced herself to stay calm. "Demi, just because you're angry doesn't mean you can go around accusing people."I had heard those exact words countless times in my past life.When all the evidence pointed to me, everyone insisted that evidence never lied.Now that the evidence pointed to them, she was suddenly preaching about not making false accusations.The police gave her no chance to explain. "Jessica, what time did you return Demi's student ID last night?""Around 10:00 pm," she replied."Are you sure?""Yes."The officer instructed the tech team to pull up the dorm hallway surveillance.At 1:03 am, Jessica appeared in the corridor. She walked over to my desk and set my student ID down.Though the footage had no sound, the timestamp was plain to see.Gasps rippled through the audience below.

    Nobody spoke.Even the nonstop scrolling comments in the live stream seemed to freeze for a split second.Frankie stared at the giant screen, his expression darkening bit by bit.The video kept playing.On the screen, "Frankie" opened the archive cabinet, retrieved the documents, and sat down at the computer to alter the scores. Every action was identical to the 15-second clip circulating online. The only difference was the face.Alfie leaped to his feet. "Shut it off!"Randy scrambled to hit the controls, but the mouse seemed completely frozen. The video didn't stop.Frankie turned around. "Why shut it off?""Professor Harper, there's clearly something wrong with this surveillance footage."Frankie replied, "When it was Demi's face earlier, you said it passed preliminary verification. Now that it's my face, there's suddenly a problem?"Cold sweat beaded on Alfie's forehead. "That's not what I meant."The murmurs from the audience below grew louder and louder."Which face i
