  • Publication number: 20260075162
    Abstract: A system for sensitive data protection in a video call/conference environment. In response to initiating a video call/conference and placing a video call participant on mute, the system uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) specifically computer vision to monitor for mouth movements by the muted video call participant that indicate speech. In response to the monitoring detecting mouth movements that indicate speech, one or more actions are performed that prevent other video call/conference participants from viewing the mouth movement indicating speech by the first call participant. The actions may include stopping/pausing the video feed or capturing of video, obfuscating the region in the video feed that includes the muted video call participant's mouth, or using AI to replace the mouth movements with images of the video call participant's mouth being stationary. The actions may be performed once Non-Public Information (NPI) is identified in the speech.

  • Publication number: 20250148788
    Abstract: Various aspects of the disclosure relate to automated monitoring of content associated with an individual for indicators that the content may be a deepfake. A deepfake analysis training device trains artificial intelligence-based models based on validated content associated with one or more profiles. Each profile is associated with an individual. A deepfake analysis engine may be installed on computing devices to monitor access to content (e.g., multimedia content) for deepfakes associated with the one or more profiles, as configured. The deepfake analysis engine may be stand-alone application, an application extension, or may be integrated into third-party applications via application programming interface functions. Analyzed content is assigned a likelihood score that is compared to threshold values that indicates a likelihood that the content is a deepfake. When identified, deepfake content initiates an alert generation and/or blocking of the content otherwise the content is presented to a user.
