What’s the best way to fight against malicious AI? With more AI. Computer security company McAfee has just announced an AI-powered deepfake audio detector called Project Mockingbird. Its purpose is to defend users from cybercriminals using fabricated AI-generated audio in videos to scam and rob people of money or from being manipulated by a fake recording of a public person.
McAfee’s Project Mockingbird, that’s being unveiled at CES 2024, uses a combination of AI-powered contextual, behavioural, and categorical detection models to identify whether the audio in a video is likely AI-generated. It listens to a video and flags the parts it believes are deep fakes.
