McAfee has announced the launch of McAfee Deepfake Detector, the latest addition to the company’s suite of AI-powered products. To combat the rise in AI scams and misinformation, McAfee is working with Lenovo to bring powerful AI-based deepfake detection capabilities to customers purchasing select Lenovo AI PCs. To help educate consumers, McAfee is also launching the Smart AI Hub with resources and interactive elements to build awareness of deepfakes and AI-driven scams.
With McAfee Deepfake Detector now available exclusively on select Lenovo AI PCs, consumers who opt in are alerted within seconds if AI-altered audio is detected in videos, without relying on laborious manual video uploads. Trained on close to 200,000 samples and counting and leveraging the power of select Lenovo AI PCs equipped with an NPU, McAfee’s AI detection models perform the entire identification process directly on the PC, maximizing on-device processing to keep private user data off the cloud. McAfee does not collect or record a user’s audio in any way, and the user is always in control and can turn audio detection on or off as desired.
McAfee Deepfake Detector is available for English language detection in select new Lenovo AI PCs. Select Lenovo AI PCs customers receive a free 30-day trial of McAfee Deepfake Detector with U.S. pricing starting at $9.99 for the first year.
