In the era of digital communication, If Deepfake technology continues to grow it represents a major risk factor in terms of the transparency and credibility of information shared online. These AIgenerated videos, capable of realistically depicting individuals saying or doing things they never did, have significant implications for public discourse, human rights, and the authenticity of digital media. The potential misuse of deepfakes for misinformation, manipulation, harassment, and coercion necessitates advanced solutions for their detection. Addressing this challenge, we have developed a deepfake video detector leveraging the capabilities of Gated Recurrent Units (GRUs). Our approach utilizes GRU’s sequential processing abilities to analyze video frames for subtle inconsistencies typical of deepfaked content. In examining pixel-level inconsistencies and temporal artifacts that are often undetectable to the naked eye, our approach presents a potential avenue towards ranking manipulated media. This work not only contributes to the technological fight against digital misinformation but also underscores the importance of cross-sector collaboration in safeguarding the veracity of online media. Our results shed further light on the ways for future work in this area and serve to underline that accounting for modern machine learning techniques is vital to ensure our digital communications are trustworthy.
