Artificial intelligence capable of creating realistic audio and video fakes is becoming a potent tool for disinformation. To address this, Hiya has developed Deepfake Voice Detector, a free Google Chrome extension designed to detect fake media within seconds.
User-Friendly and Highly Accurate
The tool integrates seamlessly into the browser, offering a simple and accessible solution for journalists, businesses, and everyday users at risk of disinformation. Powered by AI, the extension analyzes voice patterns and determines authenticity with an impressive accuracy of up to 99%. Users can quickly check questionable content with minimal effort.
Even short audio fragments—just one second of sound—are sufficient for the tool to provide an “authenticity index” ranging from 0 to 100. A lower score indicates a higher likelihood of the content being a deepfake, enabling users to make informed decisions about the material they encounter.
Trusted by Professionals and Organizations
The Deepfake Voice Detector is particularly valuable for social media and news platforms, where disinformation can spread rapidly. Journalists can verify video materials before publication, while companies use the tool to safeguard sensitive data and prevent leaks.
Notable organizations, including AFP Fact Check, RTVE.es, Deepfake Analysis Unit, and TrueMedia.org, already incorporate this technology into their verification processes. Brad Smith, vice chairman and president of Microsoft, praised it as a brilliant example of using “good AI to fight bad AI.”
Addressing the Risks of Voice Deepfakes
Hiya also emphasizes the dangers of voice deepfakes, which are increasingly used by attackers to steal passwords, access IT systems, or obtain confidential information. The consequences of such attacks can be devastating, but identifying fake voices is a critical first step in mitigating these risks, notes NIX Solutions.
As deepfake technology evolves, tools like the Deepfake Voice Detector become essential in combating disinformation and enhancing digital security. Yet we’ll keep you updated as more integrations become available to ensure continued reliability and effectiveness.
