2020-09-02 | Microsoft launches a deepfake detector tool ahead of US election – TechCrunch
'Microsoft, meanwhile, says its Video Authenticator tool was created using a public dataset from Face Forensic++ and tested on the DeepFake Detection Challenge Dataset, which it notes are “both leading models for training and testing deepfake detection technologies”. '
'This partnership has launched a Spot the Deepfake Quiz for voters in the US to “learn about synthetic media, develop critical media literacy skills and gain awareness of the impact of synthetic media on democracy”, as it puts it. '
'In the months ahead, we hope to broaden work in this area to even more technology companies, news publishers and social media companies,” Microsoft adds. '
'Microsoft has added to the slowly growing pile of technologies aimed at spotting synthetic media (aka deepfakes) with the launch of a tool for analyzing videos and still photos to generate a manipulation score. '
' The ads will run across radio stations in the United States in September and October,” it adds. '

Good point. I was thinking it might be smart enough to know who it is analyzing and skew the results accordingly. Trump - yep, he said it. Biden - nope, that's fake.
