LONDON, July 23 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FACIA, a global leader in facial biometric technology, announced that its deepfake detection system has achieved 100% accuracy on multiple industry datasets, including Meta’s Deepfake Detection Challenge Dataset (DFDC). FACIA’s proprietary algorithm was tested across more than 100,000 images and videos, reporting an overall detection accuracy of 99.6%.
The announcement comes amid growing global concern over synthetic media. In 2023 alone, the number of deepfake videos tripled, with total deepfake content increasing eightfold.
