Reality Defender, an enterprise deepfake detection company, has formed an Ethics Committee with three founding members to guide the development of its detection technology. The committee includes Keith Enright, chief strategy officer at Harvey AI and former chief privacy officer at Google; Luciano Floridi, founding director of the Yale Digital Ethics Center; and Yoel Roth, senior vice president of trust and safety at Match Group. The committee will advise on policy and governance issues related to detection infrastructure deployment and accountability measures. Reality Defender's multimodal platform identifies AI-generated voice, video and images in real time across contact centers, video meetings and content workflows. The committee begins meeting this month and will inform decisions across product, policy and partnerships as the company expands its detection platform.

Charm Security has partnered with Reality Defender to integrate deepfake detection capabilities into Charm's agentic AI workforce for fraud prevention. The collaboration enables financial institutions and enterprises to access real-time deepfake detection for voice, image and text through Charm's AI agents. The integration allows Charm's agents to directly invoke Reality Defender's technology to assess whether communications are authentic or manipulated, eliminating the need for teams to switch tools. This builds on Charm's Psychology-First Fraud Agents, which use the company's Human Vulnerabilities & Exploits model to provide insight into human intent and deception. Both Charm and Reality Defender are RSAC Innovation Sandbox companies, with Reality Defender winning the 2024 award. The partnership aims to help organisations respond to deepfake-enabled fraud more quickly whilst maintaining human context in security workflows.
