McAfee develops a tool to combat audio dipfakes
McAfee, a company that specializes in creating anti-malware programs, has created a new artificial intelligence model that can detect audio dipshits, Apple Insider reported.
With the ever-increasing popularity of artificial intelligence and tools that can recreate the voice and appearance of famous people, it can be difficult to determine whether a certain person actually made a statement, and McAfee aims to make it easier.
According to the company, Project Mockingbird is 90% successful in detecting fake audio. The system uses several artificial intelligence models that analyze behavior, context, and categories to determine how authentic the audio in a video is.
“With McAfee’s latest AI detection capabilities, we will provide customers a tool which operates at more than 90% accuracy to help people understand their digital world and assess the likelihood of content being different than it seems. So, much like a weather forecast indicating a 70% chance of rain helps you plan your day, our technology equips you with insights to make educated decisions about whether content is what it appears to be,” commented Steve Grobman, Chief Technology Officer at McAfee.
