MOSCOW, May 2. /TASS/. Functions of automatic checking of videos for presence of elements generated with the use of the so-called ‘deepfake’ technologies can appear in the test-run mode in social network players and browsers as early as in 2022, Director of the SafeNet regional engineering center of the National Technology Initiative Denis Kuvikov told TASS.

Services of the video smart analysis are developing continuously, the expert said. "This is the issue of the near future. The function of such kind can appear in the test run mode as early as in 2022. It is fairly probably we will see first products in less than six months," Kuvikov noted.

It is almost impossible to determine traces of video processing by eye, he added.

Deepfake technologies are used in mobile apps and programs for photo or video editing. A user can change appearance of people or add an element to a frame, specifically for creation of fake materials, with the use of such technologies.
