Reality Defender

Reality Defender, founded in 2021, is a startup specializing in detecting deepfakes and synthetic media. The company offers a comprehensive platform for identifying artificially generated content across various modalities, including text, images, audio, and video. Reality Defender's technology utilizes an ensemble of proprietary deep learning models trained on diverse real-world data to detect manipulated media. The platform provides its services through a web application and API, enabling integration into existing business processes.

Reality Defender's detection capabilities span multiple types of synthetic content, including face swapping, cloned voices, and AI-generated text. In September 2023, the company launched its Text Detection feature, claiming over 99.82% efficiency in detecting text generated by large language models like ChatGPT and Bard. The platform also offers real-time deepfake screening tools for immediate detection of potentially synthesized content, crucial for preventing financial fraud and information leaks.

To enhance transparency, Reality Defender introduced an "Explainable AI" feature in October 2023, which visually highlights manipulated sections of media files, starting with text. The company also unveiled a real-time voice deepfake detection service designed for call centers and fraud prevention teams. Reality Defender's approach involves examining uploaded files from multiple perspectives to output prediction probabilities and visualization results.
