We are extremely happy to be joining Hiya Inc. and together be able to offer the most complete fraud protection solution in the voice channel! 🎉 This will allow us to serve our AI Voice Detection solution at a tremendous scale within the Hiya network and create a larger and faster impact on the market. Let's go!

We are happy to share the work we are doing with our partner HP, with whom we spent time during the #HPImagineAI event in NYC last week, showcasing our voice deepfake detection solution running locally in the new HP AI PCs. It's great to work with partners like HP that are building the foundation for AI applications to be delivered locally, which has unbeatable benefits regarding privacy, cost-effectiveness and speed. At Loccus, we are building deep learning solutions to add layers of safety to voice communications, with models that not only lead in accuracy but also in efficiency, enabling both real-time detection as well as the possibility to run on-device.

What a better time to launch our new Interactive Global Market Map of #GenAI #Security than Cyber Week TLV / AI Week TLV?   The map is published in collaboration with DT’s AI Competence Center (#AICC) and T.Capital, and features more than 120 companies (at the moment) from all around the world! We have some interesting facts on it: * USA leads with number of companies (65!!!) * Israel is the second market in the world with 26 companies, but is the 1st in ratio of number of companies to population * 1-7 companies from the other respective markets (see infographics) If you want to know more about the companies, and even get your company in it - feel free to reach the map at https://lnkd.in/dCYmTmVa This map couldn't have being made without the amazing work of Miri Keren 🎗️, 🎼 Elliott Black, Tom Amthauer, and the support of Alon Segal, Jan Hofmann, David Schroeder, Oliver Schmäschke & Karine Peters - Thank you all! #DTIsrael #IamTcountOnMe

At daphni, we explored the various ways GenAI and cybersecurity interact, from novel security threats to new opportunities and enhanced cyber resilience. 🔐 New security Imperatives: The adoption of GenAI requires robust measures and tools to secure AI model deployment and safeguard companies against emerging threats while preserving privacy. 🏴☠️ Escalated Risks: GenAI has significantly escalated the broader cyber threat landscape, enabling more sophisticated and large-scale attacks, such as advanced social engineering that require more advanced detection and prevention solutions. 🛡 Opportunities for Resilience: GenAI also offers significant potential to bolster cybersecurity teams, helping address major industry challenges such as talent shortage and alert fatigue. Its applications extend from enhancing code safety to increased automation in security operations. Discover more in our article, where we also highlight startups operating in this field. 👉 https://lnkd.in/epGaYGyS 👾 Marie Ferri , Jonas Simonin, Louis Petitjean

"Isn't this a cat and mouse game? Won't you always be behind bad actors?" This is one of the most common questions we get at Loccus.ai regarding how effective our voice authenticity verification models will be when faced with voices from new AI voice tools we have never seen before. Any security solution is a cat and mouse game, and that's a fact. The point is being a "smart cat" so that this problem is minimised. Our models are built in a way that they do not rely on having seen specific data (AI voices) in the training process in order to detect them properly. We employ advanced feature extraction techniques aiming at generalising our detection, allowing us to detect voices from new AI tools that might come out in the future and that we have never seen before. Obviously, every time that a new AI voice tool is published, we test our models against it. Today, OpenAI has announced that they have been working on Voice Engine, a model that can clone anyone's voice with a 15-second sample of the original speaker. It seems it is already used in beta by HeyGen and Age of Learning. https://lnkd.in/gckAN46u Although they have not released the tool publicly (yet), they have published several voice samples in the article. We ran them through our models, and we detected 100% of them as AI-generated. Some of the results are in the first comment. This time, the cat was still faster than the mouse :)

Kerry Tomlinson from Ampere Industrial Security illustrates properly in this video and article how the misuse of AI-generated voices is being used to scam people on the phone and some tips in case you experience it. It was great for us to be able to sit with Kerry and share how we are building an AI-powered solution to this problem. #deepfakes #aivoicescam #aisafety
