3. Detection Accuracy and Limitations
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
Our deepfake detection tool is provided for informational and educational purposes only. Detection results should NOT be considered definitive proof of video authenticity or manipulation.
3.1 Accuracy Rates
Our Service uses a combination of metadata analysis, heuristic detection, and AI-powered facial recognition to detect deepfakes. The approximate accuracy rate is 75-85% for detecting common deepfakes. However:
- Advanced deepfakes created with state-of-the-art technology may evade detection
- Legitimate videos may occasionally be flagged as potentially manipulated (false positives)
- Detection accuracy varies based on video quality, format, length, and content
- The technology is continually evolving, as are deepfake methods
3.2 Not Professional Verification
Our Service is NOT a substitute for professional forensic analysis or legal verification. For critical decisions (legal proceedings, journalism publication, law enforcement, etc.), you must:
- Consult with professional digital forensics experts
