Hiya Launches Chrome Extension to Detect Deepfake Voices

The tool aims to combat misinformation by identifying AI-generated audio content with claimed 99% accuracy.

Hiya's Deepfake Voice Detector is a free Chrome extension designed to identify AI-generated voices in audio and video content.
The extension uses machine learning algorithms to detect subtle audio artifacts unique to AI voices, requiring just a second of audio for analysis.
Despite Hiya's claim of 99% accuracy, tests revealed inconsistencies, with some authentic clips flagged as uncertain and some deepfakes wrongly deemed authentic.
The tool is part of a broader effort to address the spread of deepfakes, which have already impacted the 2024 presidential election with false robocalls and manipulated media.
Hiya's initiative highlights the ongoing challenge of deepfakes, urging social media platforms to take responsibility for alerting users to potentially altered content.
