Detecting Deep Fakes: Countering the Threat of AI-Powered Audio Impersonators

Security firm Pindrop has launched a new system, PinDrop Pulse, designed to distinguish live human calls from deep fakes. Deep fake technology allows fraudsters to create voices and mimic conversational AI systems, posing serious threats to consumer accounts and perpetrating theft. PinDrop Pulse checks for the pulse of the human on the other end of the call to determine liveness. With the increasing sophistication of deep fakes and the rising number of attacks, tools like PinDrop Pulse play a crucial role in countering deep fake threats.
