The advent of AI has changed the game for cybercriminals, who are creating more convincing, personalized, AI-generated scams at scale. The impact of a deepfake scam can be life-altering, with victims reporting losses ranging from $250 to over half a million dollars.1 While not all AI-content is created with malicious intent, the ability to know if a video is real or fake helps consumers make smart and well-informed decisions.
“Knowledge is power, and this has never been truer than in the AI-driven world we’re living in today,” said Roma Majumder, Senior Vice President of Product at McAfee. “No more wondering, is this Warren Buffet investment scheme legitimate, does Taylor Swift really want to give away cookware to fans, or did a politician actually say these words? The answers are provided to you automatically and within seconds with McAfee Deepfake Detector.”
“At McAfee, we’re inspired by the transformative potential of AI and are committed to helping shape a future where AI is used for good. Teaming up with Lenovo boosts our ability to deliver the most effective, automated, AI-powered deepfake detection, offering people a powerful digital guardian on their PCs. Together, we’re able to harness AI in new and revolutionary ways, empowering individuals with the most advanced deepfake detection so they can navigate the evolving online world safely and confidently.”
“The collaboration between Lenovo and McAfee combines the unique expertise of two global leaders to deliver innovative solutions that offers consumers more trust in the content they view online,” said Igor Bergman, Vice President of Lenovo Cloud and Software, Intelligent Devices Group. “Data shows that nearly two-thirds of people (64%) are more concerned about deepfakes now than they were a year ago2. Lenovo’s expertise as an end-to-end technology solutions leader and McAfee’s experience in AI-powered online protection perfectly complement each other, optimizing hardware and software capabilities for the benefit of the consumer.”
Enhanced performance, with privacy safeguards
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 – known as inference – 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.
By leveraging the NPU and performing analysis on-device, McAfee provides comprehensive privacy and boosts processing speed when compared to cloud-based usage and improves battery life. These advancements significantly enhance the consumer experience, allowing people to make informed decisions about the content they view and protecting them against cybercrooks manipulating video audio without compromising the speed of their PC. This ensures consumers can use their PC as usual – whether they’re gaming, browsing, or watching videos – while McAfee Deepfake Detector works quietly in the background, protecting people against deceptions and alerting them to potential scams without compromising performance.
Availability and Pricing
McAfee® Deepfake Detector is available for English language detection in select new Lenovo AI PCs3, ordered on Lenovo.com and select local retailers beginning August 21, 2024, in the US, UK, and Australia.
Lenovo AI PC customers receive a free 30-day trial of McAfee Deepfake Detector with US pricing starting at $9.99 for the first year.
McAfee Smart AI™ Hub
The McAfee Smart AI™ Hub at McAfee.ai is the online, go-to destination for the latest information and educational content related to AI and cybersecurity, with a focus on deepfakes and AI-driven scams. The Hub also empowers consumers to join the fight against scams by submitting suspicious videos for analysis by McAfee’s advanced AI-powered deepfake detection technology. Insights and trends identified through this analysis will be used to further educate the public, enriching societal understanding and awareness of deepfakes and other artificially generated content, and enhancing everyone’s ability to navigate and stay safe in a digital world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence.
