The article discusses the development of DIVID, a tool created by Columbia Engineering researchers to detect AI-generated videos. This innovation addresses the growing problem of highly realistic AI videos being used for scams. DIVID, short for DIffusion Video Detection, examines frames from diffusion-generated videos for inconsistencies that indicate AI manipulation. It builds on previous research involving Raidar, a tool for detecting AI-generated texts. The core method, DIRE (DIffusion Reconstruction Error), compares original frames to reconstructed ones to identify discrepancies, boasting a detection accuracy of up to 93.7%. This technology could potentially be integrated into platforms like Zoom to enhance real-time deepfake detection, offering a significant step forward in combating digital fraud and misinformation.
