Deepfake Wars: Defending Reality in Real Time
Synthetic media is improving fast. Detection has to be layered and transparent.
BeNews approach
- Frame-level anomaly checks
- Audio/visual sync scoring
- Provenance checks from source and platform
- Human review on uncertain outputs
We never hide uncertainty. Confidence labels are part of the product.
Confidence bands
- High confidence: clean provenance + no manipulation signals
- Needs review: mixed indicators
- Likely synthetic: strong model manipulation signatures
This is not a one-time model problem. It is an operational workflow.
