Stock market today: S&P 500 drops for fifth day as focus shifts to Powell’s speech
NEW YORK - Cyabra Strategy Ltd. has unveiled a new AI-powered deepfake detection tool designed to identify manipulated images and videos, according to a press release issued Thursday.
The technology utilizes two proprietary AI models: PixelProof for analyzing images and MotionProof for examining videos. PixelProof detects pixel inconsistencies through spatio-frequency analysis, while MotionProof identifies unnatural movement patterns and lip-sync errors in videos.
The company stated that both models deliver results within seconds and provide confidence scores with visual heatmap explanations highlighting potentially manipulated areas of content.
"Our detection tool acts as a digital magnifying glass, revealing the invisible fingerprints of even the most convincing deepfakes," said Dan Brahmy, CEO and Co-founder of Cyabra, in the statement.
The announcement comes amid growing concerns about the misuse of AI-generated media. The company cited a February 2024 incident where a finance worker at a multinational firm in Hong Kong was reportedly tricked into transferring $25 million during a Zoom meeting where all participants, including the company’s CFO, were deepfakes.
Cyabra’s new capability integrates with its existing disinformation detection platform, which includes tools for authenticity analysis, narrative tracking, and real-time monitoring.
The company has entered into a business combination agreement with Trailblazer Merger Corporation I (NASDAQ:TBMC), a special purpose acquisition company. According to InvestingPro data, TBMC currently trades at $11.62 with a market capitalization of $52.28 million.
