How to Check a Video for Deepfakes: Testing AI Detectors
Deepfake detection still isn't a one-button job. In a test of 100 files, Hive, RealityGuard, the Content Credentials standard and Intel FakeCatcher performed best, but each had weak spots: compression, missing EXIF data, low resolution and scenes without faces. The main takeaway is simple: don't rely on a single service. Use a combination of tools plus manual checking.

How many deepfake detection tools were tested?
Four popular solutions, including Hive, C2PA and Intel.
How do you properly check a video for a deepfake?
The tools that work best have a clear specialization and a verified file origin, rather than offering universal promises.
What should you look at when checking a video for a deepfake?
When checking video, the services analyze ordinary photos and video from cameras, modern synthetic clips and hybrid content (frames after neural-network retouching or upscaling). The tools that work best have a clear specialization and a verified file origin.
How do you check a video for a deepfake?
Use dedicated deepfake detection services. The tools that work best have a clear specialization and a verified file origin, which is exactly what the test of four popular solutions showed.
Which neural networks are best at detecting deepfakes in video?
The test ran the services on a set of 100 files: ordinary photos and camera video, modern synthetic clips, and hybrid content after neural-network retouching and upscaling. Specialized tools performed better than those making universal promises.
