FakeCatcher

In News 
  • American technology company Intel recently unveiled the FakeCatcher, its deepfake detection platform.
About FakeCatcher
  • It the world’s first real-time deepfake detector, which can detect fake videos in milliseconds with a 96 per cent accuracy rate. 
  • Deepfake is essentially a video in which a person's face or body has been digitally altered so that they appear to be someone else.
  • Deception due to deepfakes can cause harm and mislead people, resulting in negative consequences like diminished trust in the media.
  • It’s tough to detect these deepfake videos in real time as the detection apps take a lot of time for uploading videos for analysis, then hours for results.
  • FakeCatcher helps restore trust by enabling users to distinguish between real and fake content. 
Working of the software 
  • It runs on a server using Intel hardware and software, and interfaces through a web-based platform.
  • On the software side, a collection of specialist tools form the optimised FakeCatcher architecture, which the real-time platform uses to detect deepfake.
  • On the hardware side, the real-time detection platform can run up to 72 different detection streams simultaneously on 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors.
