Abstract

This paper describes how watermarking technology can be used to prevent the proliferation of Deepfake news. In the proposed system, digital watermarks are embedded in the audio and video tracks of video clips of trusted news agencies at the time the videos are captured or before they are distributed. The watermarks are detected at the social media network’s portals, nodes, and back ends. The embedded watermark imparts a unique identifier to the video, that links it to a blockchain. The watermarks also allow video source tracking, integrity verification, and alteration localization. The watermark detectors can be standalone software applications, or they can be integrated with other applications. They are used to perform three main tasks: (1) they alert the internet user when he watches an inauthentic news video, so that he may discard it, (2) they prevent a Deepfake news video from propagating through the network (3) they perform forensic analysis to help track and remove Deepfake news video postings. The paper includes Proof-of- Concept simulation results.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
