NVIDIA AI video detector

NVIDIA has created a tool for detecting AI-created content. 

The Synthetic Video Detector NVIDIA NIM microservice, which is now part of the NVIDIA For Media platform, analyses video frame by frame to produce a classifier score of whether it contains synthetic content.

It still works after the compression, resizing, cropping and re-encoding steps common in newsroom and social-video workflows, and in NVIDIA testing, the model’s accuracy reached up to 92% on uncompressed video, 87% at 15% compression and 82% at 50% compression.

The NIM microservice can process 1080p video in 22 milliseconds on NVIDIA RTX systems and approximately 30 milliseconds on NVIDIA L40 GPUs. 

This tech aimed at news teams, who can then use that score to prioritise clips for review, flag or quarantine questionable footage, or escalate it for deeper analysis. NVIDIA says that the software shouldn’t be used to replace existing verification processes, but it can provide, “another signal”. 

The detector can be used in on-premises, edge, hybrid and approved air-gapped environments, and is being built into industry partners’ software, such as the Wowza Video Intelligence Framework.
