The company revealed that Fakecatcher can operate in real-time to detect deep fake videos and also told that this is the first of its kind tool in the world to detect fake videos. Fakecatcher has a 96% success rate when it comes to detecting fake likenesses. As far as its mechanism is concerned, it collects data based on blood flow mechanics on a person’s face by scanning the pixel in a video. After this a deep learning AI can determine is the subject’s likeness is authentic or not. While telling about Fake Checker, Intel Labs senior staff researcher Ilke Demir said: “Deepfake videos are everywhere now. You have probably already seen them; videos of celebrities doing or saying things they never actually did,” Fakecatcher is hosted on a server and interfaces with video by using a web-based platform. Its approach is quite different from the traditional deep-learning-based detectors, which detect the fake aspects of the video whereas FakeCatcher detects the real part of the video. With the growing tech, deepfake technology has grown during the last few years. Even the FBI reported to Internet Crime Complaint Center that it had received too many complaints of people who were using deepfakes in videos. If Intel is true regarding the detection of deepfake videos through FakeCatcher, it’s a big step and will be able to lead people toward the right place.
