McAfee Unveiled AI Powered Deepfake Audio Detection Technology Project Mockingbird to Avoid Scams Cyberbullying Heres All Details

McAfee Corp. has introduced its AI-powered deepfake audio detection technology named Project Mockingbird at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2024). The technology aims to detect cybercriminals using AI-generated audio for scams, cyberbullying and manipulated videos of public figures. This technology will work to reduce the use of generative AI tools increasingly adopted by cyber criminals. Nowadays, cyber criminals use such generative tools to scam people by impersonating their family members or any other known person.

Innovation and Threat Intelligence Branch, McAfee Labs has developed an advanced AI model as part of Project Mockingbird. The model uses contextual, behavioral, and hierarchical recognition methods to identify AI-generated audio in videos. McAfee claims that with a current accuracy rate of 90%, the technology can detect deepfakes or “cheap fakes” with malicious intent and provide users with stronger protection.

McAfee Chief Technology Officer Steve Grobman emphasized that this AI detection tool gives users insights to assess the authenticity of digital content. The technology can be used in many places, from detecting cloned celebrity scams to verifying the authenticity of videos related to political figures.

McAfee's focus on AI innovation is clear, with Project Mockingbird part of a broader portfolio of AI models aimed at protecting users' digital lives. The company says that introducing the technology at CES 2024 reflects McAfee's commitment to developing AI solutions.

Project Mockingbird takes its name from the behavior of mockingbirds, which are known to imitate the chirping of other birds. Similarly, cyber criminals use generative AI to clone voices for fraudulent activities.
