Summary
Reality Defender has launched a new feature for its deepfake detection platform that enables real-time video verification during web conferencing. This technology aims to combat fraud by confirming the identities of participants in online meetings, ensuring that they are genuine individuals rather than AI-generated impersonators.
The introduction of real-time video deepfake detection comes at a critical time as incidents of fraud involving video calls have surged, including high-profile scams that have resulted in significant financial losses. For example, a recent case involved a multinational financial firm losing $25 million due to a fraudulent Zoom call. Reality Defender’s technology scans video feeds to identify deepfake participants without requiring users to leave their conferencing applications. This capability is essential for maintaining trust in digital communications, especially as the market for high-quality deepfakes continues to grow, with prices for sophisticated deepfake videos reaching up to $20,000 per minute.
