Infibeam Avenues has signed an MoU for research and development (R&D) with the Indian Institute of Sciences (IISc) Bangalore..
This collaboration aims to research and develop advanced real-time deepfake detection systems designed to enhance digital security for government entities, corporations, and organizations, effectively combating the rising threat of AI-generated deception.
Under the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), Infibeam Avenues’s AI business unit Phronetic.AI and IISc will develop anti-deepfake technology specifically tailored for real-time video communication.
“Digital communications and a digital India will thrive only as long as there is trust,” said Rajesh Kumar SA, CEO of Phronetic.AI, an AI unit of Infibeam Avenues Ltd. “Together, we will equip users with the necessary tools to differentiate between truth and fabrication in an increasingly complex digital landscape, thereby mitigating fraud risks and enhancing digital trust.”
Despite the availability of various deepfake detection tools in the market, only a limited number possess the capability for real-time operation. Infibeam’s Phronetic.AI team claims to have developed an advanced video AI agent that can detect deepfakes in real-time through a novel interventional technique. This agent actively engages in live video conversations, alerting users when the other participant is identified as a deepfake.
Infibeam said it has already filed a patent for its real-time deepfake detection algorithm.
Additionally, the research will prioritize the development of a user-friendly interface, enabling easy access for non-experts to verify the authenticity of live visuals and audio. This scalable detection system will be adaptable across various sectors.
