In 2024, fraud using deepfakes has increased by 10%, due to improvements in the technologies used to create them. In response, Russian companies are developing tools to detect deepfakes and prohibited content.
A deepfake is a technology based on machine learning and artificial intelligence that allows for the overlaying of content fragments, replacing the face or voice in video and audio.
The MTS AI system accurately identifies face and voice replacements with 97.5% accuracy, and also recognizes images with prohibited elements. The service is designed for content moderation, verification of video conference participants, and prevention of fraudulent requests on behalf of companies.
Deepfake technologies are becoming increasingly accessible, making their detection more difficult. In the financial sector, attacks using deepfakes reached 5.7 thousand in 2024, of which up to 20% were successful. However, demand for solutions remains limited due to insufficient awareness of the threat from businesses.
