South Korea’s police forces are developing a new deepfake detection tool that they can use during criminal investigations.

The Korean National Police Agency (KNPA) announced on March 5, 2024 to South Korean press agency Yonhap that its National Office of Investigation (NOI) will deploy new software designed to detect whether video clips or image files have been manipulated using deepfake techniques.

Unlike most existing AI detection tools, traditionally trained on Western-based data, the model behind this new software was trained on 5.2 million pieces of data from 5400 Koreans and related figures. It adopts “the newest AI model to respond to new types of hoax videos that were not pretrained,” KNPA said.

Major technology companies signed a pact Friday to voluntarily adopt “reasonable precautions” to prevent artificial intelligence tools from being used to disrupt democratic elections around the world.

Executives from Adobe, Amazon, Google, IBM, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI and TikTok gathered at the Munich Security Conference to announce a new framework for how they respond to AI-generated deepfakes that deliberately trick voters. Twelve other companies — including Elon Musk’s X — are also signing on to the accord.

“Everybody recognizes that no one tech company, no one government, no one civil society organization is able to deal with the advent of this technology and its possible nefarious use on their own,” said Nick Clegg, president of global affairs for Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, in an interview ahead of the summit.

Technology giants are planning a new industry “accord” to fight back against “deceptive artificial intelligence election content” that is threatening the integrity of major democratic elections across the world this year.

A draft Tech Accord, seen by POLITICO, showed technology companies want to work together to create tools like watermarks and detection techniques to spot, label and debunk “deepfake” AI-manipulated images and audio of public figures. The pledge also includes commitments to open up more about how the firms are fighting AI-generated disinformation on their platforms.

“We affirm that the protection of electoral integrity and public trust is a shared responsibility and a common good that transcends partisan interests and national borders,” the draft reads.
