What is a Deepfake detector?
A deepfake detector is a tool that analyses video, audio, or image files showing whether their content was created or altered using artificial intelligence. As AI video generation tools become cheaper and more accessible, synthetic media is increasingly used in fraud, misinformation campaigns, identity theft, and manipulated evidence.
AI Aware’s deepfake detector uses a proprietary machine learning model, along with advanced statistical techniques, trained to identify the subtle artefacts, inconsistencies, and generative signatures left behind by AI systems. It identifies AI-generated video even when content looks convincing to the human eye.
Whether you need to verify a video clip before publishing it, check a piece of audio evidence submitted in a legal case, or protect your organisation from synthetic identity fraud, our deepfake checker provides fast, reliable results.
How our Deepfake detector works
Our detection engine combines multiple forensic analysis methods to achieve high accuracy across a wide range of AI-generated content including Generative model fingerprinting. Our system is trained to recognise the output signatures of leading AI video generators including Synthesia, Runway, HeyGen and Sora making it effective against commercially produced synthetic media.
Features of the Deepfake detector
AI Video Detection. Upload a video file and receive a clear result indicating whether the footage is likely to have been generated or manipulated by AI. Our system handles a wide range of video formats and creator tools.
AI Audio Detection. Check voice recordings, podcasts, video soundtracks, or audio clips for signs of voice cloning, AI-generated speech, or synthesised music. Essential for verifying witness statements, media content, and customer interactions.
Confidence Scoring Rather than a binary yes/no. AI Aware returns a confidence score that helps you understand the likelihood and degree of AI involvement. This gives you the context to make informed decisions.
Fast Results. Upload your file and receive your detection result in seconds. Built for users who need to move quickly.
Supports Multiple AI Generators. Our model is regularly updated to detect output from the latest and most widely used AI video and audio generation platforms. It keeps pace with a rapidly evolving threat landscape.
Who should use it?
Legal and Forensic Professionals. Video and audio evidence submitted in legal proceedings must be authenticated. Our deepfake checker helps solicitors, barristers, and forensic investigators assess whether submitted media has been artificially generated or manipulated.
Media and Journalism. Publishers and broadcasters face growing pressure to verify the authenticity of user-submitted content, press footage, and interview recordings before publication. AI Aware provides a fast, reliable verification layer.
HR and Recruitment. Synthetic identity fraud in remote hiring is one of the fastest-growing enterprise threats. AI-generated candidates can deceive video interview systems. Protect your hiring pipeline with deepfake video verification.
Education and Academia. Assess whether submitted video assignments or presentations were created using AI generation tools. Part of AI Aware’s broader suite of AI content detection products for education.
Financial Services and KYC (Know Your Customer). Video-based identity verification is a common target for deepfakes. Financial institutions can use AI Aware to add a layer of synthetic media detection to their KYC and fraud prevention processes.
Content Platforms and Social Media. Protect your platform from synthetic disinformation, AI-generated impersonation content, and manipulated media at scale through API integration.
Why Deepfake detection matters
Creating convincing AI-generated video and cloned audio no longer requires deep pockets or state-level resources. Free and low-cost tools now allow anyone to produce synthetic media that people find indistinguishable from real footage. The consequences of undetected deepfakes include:
- Fraud and financial crime – voice-cloned “CFO” calls authorising wire transfers; AI impersonation in KYC video checks
- Misinformation – fabricated statements attributed to politicians, executives, or public figures
- Legal manipulation – fake video or audio submitted as evidence in civil or criminal proceedings
- Reputational harm – non-consensual deepfake content targeting individuals or brands
- Hiring fraud -AI-generated remote interview candidates misrepresenting their identity
AI Aware combines academic rigour with practical, easy-to-use detection tools, helping professionals across every sector meet this growing challenge head-on
Frequently asked questsions
What is a deepfake video? AI creates deepfake videos by generating or altering footage — typically to make a real person appear to say or do something they never did, or to build an entirely synthetic person or scene from scratch. The term comes from “deep learning” – the AI technique used to create them.
How accurate is AI Aware’s deepfake detector? AI Aware builds its detection model on large-scale machine learning and trains it across a wide range of AI generation tools and content types. We publish confidence scores with every result so you always understand the strength of the finding. No deepfake detector achieves 100% accuracy so we recommend using our tool as part of a broader verification process. For high stakes interpretations, please contact us for details of our in-depth statistical report service.
Can the deepfake detector identify audio fakes as well as video? Yes. AI Aware detects both AI-generated video and AI-generated or AI-manipulated audio. The audio detection layer identifies voice cloning, synthetic speech, and other AI-generated acoustics.
Which AI video generators can AI Aware detect?
We train our system to detect output from a wide range of AI video generators including Synthesia, Sora and Runway. We continuously update the model as new generation tools emerge.
Is there a free trial? Yes. You can try the deepfake detector for free — no credit card required. Start your free trial.
Can I use the deepfake detector via an API? Yes. AI Aware offers API access for organisations that want to integrate deepfake detection into their own platforms, workflows, or trust-and-safety systems. Contact us to discuss API access.
Is AI Aware’s deepfake detector suitable for legal use?
Legal professionals use our tool as a first-pass analysis tool. If you plan to submit content as evidence in legal proceedings, contact us to discuss our expert forensics service(learn more about AI detection for legal firms).
How is this different from a deepfake detector Chrome extension? Unlike browser extensions that perform basic checks on visible content, AI Aware’s platform performs deep forensic analysis of uploaded media files, providing confidence scores and multi-layer detection across both visual and audio signals.
