US firm specialising in deepfake detection among 10 chosen for global growth scheme

New York-based Reality Defender is one of 10 firms in a second cohort to receive support from the CyberBoost Catalyse programme, an initiative by the CyberSG Talent, Innovation and Growth (TIG) Collaboration Centre. The centre is a $20 million initiative between the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) and NUS.

At a media briefing on March 25 at the TIG Collaboration Centre's offices in Ayer Rajah, Ms Kyra Rauschenbach, Reality Defender's government business strategist, said her company's Singapore customers include a media organisation and organisations in the defence sector.

The company, which was started in 2021, said its model can detect AI-generated audio, video, image and text on a large scale and in near real time. It can be integrated into communication points, including telephony systems such as those used by call centres, and as a plug-in on programs such as Microsoft Teams and Zoom.
