McAfee partners with Intel to bring AI-powered Deepfake detector for videos

US-based cyber security company McAfee has announced enhancements to its AI-powered deepfake detection technology in collaboration with the American chip maker Intel. According to the company, the McAfee Deepfake Detector leverages the enhanced neural processing unit (NPU) of the Intel Core Ultra processors to run AI algorithms for detecting synthetic content.

McAfee said that the entire analysis and detection process takes place on the device itself, without needing to send personal data to the cloud for processing. While this process ensures user’s privacy, it also improves the performance of the deep fake detection technology by 300 per cent, according to the company.
