“AI-Based Multi-Modal
Deepfake Detection for Video,
Audio, and Images”
📄 Abstract:
In the era of generative AI, the manipulation of media content has
become alarmingly realistic and accessible. Deepfakes — synthetic
videos, images, and audio generated using deep learning techniques —
pose significant threats in the form of misinformation, identity theft,
cyberbullying, and fraud. This project presents a comprehensive
solution: an AI-based multi-modal deepfake detection system capable of
analyzing and verifying the authenticity of videos, audio clips, and
images.
Utilizing advanced deep learning techniques, including Convolutional
Neural Networks (CNNs), recurrent models, and pretrained
architectures like XceptionNet, MesoNet, and Wav2Vec, the system
detects signs of media tamperin+g, such as facial inconsistencies,
unnatural blinking, synthetic voice patterns, and image noise artifacts.
The system is trained on publicly available datasets such as
FaceForensics++, Celeb-DF, and VoxCeleb, ensuring ethical data
handling.
The proposed solution not only performs content-based analysis but
also provides a confidence score and explainable results to highlight
regions or features deemed suspicious. Future enhancements include
real-time integration, browser plugins, and social media APIs for live
monitoring and media verification.
