My talk from last month's SALT Conference is now live. I cannot express how much I enjoyed finally speaking at SALT in Reality Defender's home in NYC, where the team was hard at work shipping the latest update to our deepfake detection models just two miles south of the conference. You can watch my talk in full below.

Thank you to Harry M Glazer and SPROCKIT for inviting myself and the Reality Defender to speak at this year's Marché du Film - Festival de Cannes.
Highlights | #NextTechOnTheBeach We were thrilled to partner up with SPROCKIT — the Global Open Innovation Platform — for this year’s exclusive #CannesNext investment summit! 🌴✨ “Next Tech on the Beach” brought together top deal-makers, investors, and start-ups (including QUANTIC BRAINS, Deeptune and Reality Defender) for a day of insightful talks and groundbreaking showcases. From AI fraud detection to revolutionary content localization, the event was packed with cutting-edge innovation drivers and unparalleled networking opportunities. 🤖🤝🚀 Thank you again to Sprockit CEO & Founder Harry M Glazer, as well as our industry guests, including Roy Conan Alonso Rising (QUANTIC BRAINS), Ben Colman (Reality Defender), Daniel De La Rosa (Sony Pictures Entertainment), Seneit Debese (Greta App), Margarita Grubina (Respeecher), Katrina King (Amazon Web Services (AWS)), Christina Lee Storm (#Playbook), Tim Lupo (Deeptune) and Alex Petrenko (ZibraAI). And, of course, many thanks to our Head of Cannes Next, Sten Saluveer, and AC Coppens for moderating this half-day event with us at our beachside venue, Plage des Palmes! 🏖 Check out the photo highlights below! 📸👇

Apple will soon rollout powerful generative AI tools to billions of users. What does that mean for the future of deepfakes and detection? Read more in today's Reality Defender Newsletter.

I am thrilled to see Apple Intelligence, Apple's bold expansion into the world of generative AI. This new advancement is set to bring these capabilities to over 2 billion users overnight. Yet as we celebrate this innovation, it is essential to take a step back and assess the implications. Apple's Image Playground is an impressive on-device tool that allows for generative image creation. Siri is also supercharged with #generativeAI results, enabling text generation or rewriting. And when it comes to cloud-based models for tasks and tools that cannot be done locally, Apple has implemented robust privacy protections where user data is never stored, used only for requests, and handled on servers subject to continuous independent inspections. These safeguards are commendable, but we must acknowledge that they are not foolproof. Users will find creative ways to bypass these security measures. As we've seen with previous generative models, the cat-and-mouse game between developers and malicious actors is never-ending. The integration of ChatGPT into Apple devices also raises concerns. While users will be prompted for explicit permission each time an image or specific data is shared, this doesn't necessarily prevent misuse. Billions are not only exposed to the risk of their data being exploited by companies with questionable track records when it comes to user privacy and copyright; they have access to a tool that has been “jailbroken” countless times to generate abusive and harmful materials. Apple undoubtedly knows all of this, and, over the years, has shown a persistent and industry-leading approach to safeguarding user privacy — even if it comes at the expense of development. With this in mind, we applaud Apple's efforts to create powerful #GenAI tools with built-in privacy safeguards. Apple Intelligence is an exciting development, one that highlights the benefits and risks associated with generative artificial intelligence on a massive scale. As it sees a wide release, the Reality Defender team will continue to monitor any potential misuse or abuse of these powerful new tools. After all, it is our responsibility as the premier AI-generated content detection platform to help clients and users determine real from fake. With an expected sizable explosion in use of these tools upon the launch of Apple’s latest updates, followed by predicted misuse and abuse, Reality Defender will be ready to adapt and evolve to protect against said malicious activity as we have when new models and generative techniques are introduced to a wide audience. As we continue to navigate this rapidly evolving landscape, it is crucial for all stakeholders - developers, users, and regulators alike - to remain vigilant and proactive in addressing the potential threats associated with these powerful tools. By doing so, we can unlock the vast potential of generative AI while mitigating its risks, ultimately benefiting individuals and society as a whole.

Excited for our Reality Defender team as they head to CVPR in Seattle! Our paper, Audio-Visual Feature Fusion for Video Deepfake Detection, proposes Audio-Visual Feature Fusion (AVFF), a two-stage method that learns to detect deepfakes by capturing the correspondence between audio and visual modalities, achieving a high accuracy of 98.6% on the #FakeAVCeleb dataset. I'm beyond thrilled to see Reality Defender’s research gain recognition at one of the premier computer vision conferences. It's a true testament to their dedication and expertise in #deepfake_detection.
The Reality Defender team will be presenting our latest research this month at CVPR, the premier computer vision event. Read Gaurav Bharaj's latest post on our groundbreaking research paper and what to expect Reality Defender team later this month in Seattle.
