Open-source models for detecting fakes

These models answer one question: is the material genuine? Was a face swapped in a video, is a live person in front of the camera, is the voice synthetic, was the image or text generated? Know the limits: any such detector errs in both directions, so its output is a reason to look closer, not proof. They run on your own server so disputed material never leaves it.

AIDE

Xiaohongshu, USTC and Shanghai Jiao Tong University · China

TruFor

GRIP, University Federico II of Naples · Italy

Finds traces of editing and shows on a map which regions of an image look altered: suitable for scans of contracts, certificates and photos of documents. It errs in both directions - a person decides.
