Customer Spotlight

CyberHoot Awarded New Badge From TrustRadius

Deepfake is typically used to refer to a video that has been edited using an Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithm to replace the person in the original video with someone else (especially a public figure) in a way that makes the video look authentic. Deepfakes use a form of artificial intelligence called deep learning to make images and videos of fake events, hence the name deepfake.

Until recently, video content has been difficult to alter in any substantial way. Due to Deepfakes being created through AI, they don’t require the considerable skill that it would take to create a realistic video otherwise. Unfortunately, this means that just about anyone can create a deepfake to promote their chosen agenda. For example, a deepfake could be used to spread false information through a “presidential candidate”. Microsoft, however, has worked on an AI-powered deepfake detection software for this purpose. The tool can automatically analyze videos and photos to provide a confidence score that the media has been manipulated.
