Definition ∞ Deepfake detection involves methods to identify synthetic media created by artificial intelligence. These techniques aim to distinguish between authentic audio-visual content and manipulated versions, often generated using deep learning algorithms. Detection systems analyze subtle inconsistencies, digital artifacts, or statistical anomalies that human perception might overlook. The objective is to counteract the malicious use of deepfakes for misinformation, fraud, or identity theft.
Context ∞ The escalating sophistication of deepfake technology presents significant challenges for verifying digital identity and combating disinformation, particularly in contexts involving financial transactions or public trust. Research efforts are concentrating on developing more robust and real-time detection mechanisms to keep pace with generative AI advancements. The intersection of deepfakes with crypto scams and digital asset security is a growing area of concern for news reporting.
