Detect synthetic media with layered signals, resilient models, and hum

Deepfakes span faces, voices, and full-scene synthetic content. Detection relies on visual/audio artifacts, temporal consistency, biological signals (blink, head pose), provenance, and behavioral context.

No single signal is enough—layered detection and human review are required to effectively identify harmful synthetic media and reduce false positives on legitimate content.

Moderation pipelines, review tools with evidence, user-facing labels

Adversarial testing, rapid model updates, canary deployments, and feedback loops from reviewers are crucial for maintaining detection accuracy.

Detect manipulated faces with spatial/temporal artifacts and embedding mismatches to ensure robust identification of deepfake content.

Scaling the system involves enabling inline scoring, real-time triage, user labeling, and partner APIs to streamline the process.

Ingest media, extract frames and audio, compute embeddings and artifacts, and store evidence. Integrate with moderation queues, user reporting, and appeals, while maintaining provenance signals (watermarks, C2PA) when available.

Frequently asked questions

Human review for high-impact actions; staged rollouts; rollback on drift or evasion spikes?

Human review is essential for handling high-impact cases, utilizing staged rollout strategies and implementing rollback mechanisms to address model drift or evasion attempts.

Monitor precision/recall, false positive cost, and evasions?

Continuous monitoring of precision, recall, and the costs associated with false positives is vital, alongside tracking evasion techniques used by deepfake creators.

Policy-aligned actions, user notifications, appeals, and evidence retention?

Implementing policy-aligned actions alongside user notifications, robust appeal processes, and comprehensive evidence retention strategies is necessary for responsible deepfake detection.

Track reviewer agreement, appeal outcome?

Tracking reviewer agreement and analyzing appeal outcomes provides valuable insights into model performance and user perceptions of the detection system.
