A new extension for Google's Chrome web browser promises to detect audio deepfakes, which use someone's voice – usually that of a celebrity – to defraud or misinform users.
The American start-up Hiya, specializing in telephone security, is behind this Deepfake Voice Detector. This tool aims to make the detection of audio deepfakes accessible to all, whether on news sites, video platforms or social networks. According to Hiya, a single second of listening is enough for the tool to determine whether the voice you're hearing is authentic or, on the contrary, generated by artificial intelligence.
