2020 Insights into DeepFake & Fake News Counter Misinformation Solutions Industry to 2026
Dublin, Dec. 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Counter Misinformation (DeepFake & Fake News) Solutions Market - 2020-2026" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
For the past century Fake News has become a significant problem, as exploiting news outlets and social media platforms to disseminate misinformation to influence individuals' actions has become widespread. The negative impact of Fake News, especially within the political, economic, and social environments is increasing, emphasizing the need to detect and identify these Fake News stories in near real-time.
Furthermore, the latest trend of using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to create fake videos, known as "DeepFakes" or "FakeNews 2.0", is a fast-growing phenomenon creating major concerns. AI technology enables, basically anyone, to create a fake video that shows a person or persons performing an action at an event that never occurred. Although DeepFakes are not as prevalent and widespread as Fake News articles, they are increasing in popularity and have a much greater effect on the general population. In addition, the sophistication behind the creation of DeepFake videos increases the difficulty of identifying and detecting them, making them a much more effective and destructive tool for perpetrators.
As the usage and threat of DeepFakes and Fake News intensifies, so do efforts to develop new detection methods, resulting in the next wave of (mis)information warfare. The proliferation of technology, specifically Artificial Intelligence, allow wide scale and easy to use solutions to create synthetic media that seems very real, either in video, photos, or text. In combination with networks of fake profiles, bot networks and smart utilization of social media, the attackers have many ways to influence either the public or specific individuals. As media and technology are now being used for cyber terrorism, criminal activity, espionage and military warfare, the new age of information warfare threatens democracies worldwide, pushing governments to combat this threat with large investments.
Intelligence, Law Enforcement, and other Governmental agencies are taking active roles in tackling the threat that (mis)information warfare poses and are spending growing budgets on technology that can detect and counter Fake News and DeepFake media.
There are two major categories of DeepFake detection tools:
- Pattern Analysis - looking and analyzing the behavior of people in the videos, learning the patterns, from hand gestures to pauses in speech, and comparing it to real life patterns. This approach has the advantage of possibly working even if the video quality itself is essentially perfect.
- Quality of Video Analysis - analyzing the differences between deepfakes and real videos. Most deepfake videos are created by merging individually generated frames into videos. By analyzing the essential data from the faces in individual frames of a video and then tracking them through sets of concurrent frames one is able to detect inconsistencies in the flow of the information from one frame to another. This can also be used for face audio detection.
Fake News is disseminated via networks of fake profiles, bot networks and smart utilization of social media, therefore, most tools developed and used to detect fake news are geared towards finding, analyzing and stopping these networks and bots. These tools are a mix of OSINT and Cyber technologies.
As most of the misinformation activity and
content dissemination is done on social media platforms, the report
covers the activity of tech giants to tackle this threat over their
platforms and beyond. Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft, Youtube and other
leading content platforms are investing time and money to better
understand and detect deepfakes to make sure their platforms are not
misused by criminals and state-owned operators. However, these efforts
alone will not be enough and other institutions will have to take a more
prominent role by allocating larger budgets to purchase or develop
capabilities to mitigate the risk. In addition to detecting these fakes,
journalists and the social media platforms also need to figure out how
best to warn people about deepfakes when they are detected to minimize
the damage done.
Such as in most tech heavily markets, end users are debating whether to work with an external vendor or to rely on internal developed capabilities as well as existing OSINT monitoring tools re-directed to a dedicated team. The report contains a detailed list and short profile of the companies that provide solutions for counter DeepFake and FakeNews monitoring and detection. Many of these companies are startups such as Cheq, Metafact, Cyabra, Falso Tech, Sensity, and others. In addition, large and mature corporations are also active in the market, some of them via M&A activities and other are developing solutions internally, such players include Axon, Microsoft, Facebook, Twitter and others.
These companies are leveraging several high-end technologies and methods to tackle this threat, such as:
- AI analytics that can identify synthetic media
- Digital authentication solutions
- Content and social media monitoring tools (OSINT)
- Fake profiles detectors
- Fact checking tools
- Related cybercrime activity
