96 per cent accuracy rate

In a bid to stop fake news and propaganda, Intel introduced FakeCatcher, which it says is the first real-time detector of deepfakes.

Deepfakes have become rather common particularly in the last couple of years where the technology has become better and easier to use. This has been a boon for propagandists who like to feed conspiracy theorists with seemingly plausible evidence of rival's wrong doings.*

Intel claims the product has a 96% accuracy rate and works by analyzing the subtle "blood flow" in video pixels to return results in milliseconds. Ilke Demir, senior staff research scientist in Intel Labs, designed FakeCatcher in collaboration with Umur Ciftci from the State University of New York at Binghamton. The product uses Intel hardware and software, runs on a server and interfaces through a web-based platform.
