3.5 Deepfake Detection

Active scanning mechanisms can be built based on Human ID persona baselines. Famous personalities are a niche segment where Deepfake detection will be immensely valuable. In general, users and those who have socially vouched for them and have given consent will receive alerts if Deepfake or impersonation matches are found on content such as Videos, Images, Ads, Audio clips. Depending on users' preferences, this content will be flagged to the platform automatically or after manual review. If the user wants legal remediation as current legislation on Deepfake impersonation warranties then an automated legal notice approved by a licensed lawyer can be sent to sue the platform and the perpetrators.

How it works:

  1. Data Training: Deep learning models are trained on both real and fake video data. This data helps the model identify patterns and anomalies that might indicate manipulation.

  2. Analysis: When analyzing a video, the model examines various aspects like:

  • Facial Features: Inconsistencies in facial movements, blinking patterns, or lighting can suggest manipulation.

  • Artifacts: Traces of editing software or unnatural blending effects might be present.

  • Audio Analysis: Inconsistencies in voice patterns or lip movements compared to the speaker can be red flags.

  • SpatioTemporal Analysis: Deepfakes can sometimes have subtle inconsistencies in video frame rates or motion patterns.

  1. Classification: Based on the analysis, the model assigns a probability score to the video – indicating how likely it is to be fake. Thresholds are set to identify highly suspicious content for further investigation.

Value propositions and use cases:

  1. Identifying Unauthorized Deepfakes: Deepfake detection allows users to identify manipulated content featuring themselves circulating online. This empowers them to take action, such as requesting removal of the content or reporting it to the platform.

  2. Mitigating the Spread of Deepfakes: By enabling users to flag potential deepfakes, detection tools can help contain the spread of manipulated content, minimizing the damage to a person's reputation and privacy.

  3. Providing a Sense of Control: Deepfake detection can give users a sense of control over their online presence. Knowing they can identify and address manipulated content can alleviate anxiety and empower them to manage their digital identity.

  4. Protecting Public Trust: By verifying the authenticity of online content, deepfake detection can help maintain trust in media and communication channels.

  5. Safeguarding Individuals: Deepfakes can be used for malicious purposes like identity theft or defamation. Detection tools can help protect individuals from such harm.

  6. Enhancing National Security: Deepfakes can be used to create political or social unrest. Detection helps mitigate these risks and maintain national security.

  7. Supporting Journalism: Deepfake detection allows journalists to verify the authenticity of videos and photos, promoting accurate and reliable reporting.

  8. Supporting BFSI: In the banking, financial services, and insurance sector, there are various use cases for deepfake detection such as becoming a part of eKYC processes, document forgery detection in loan processing, liveness detection, voice biometrics, etc.
