FakeXpose

Building an Explainable AI Deepfake Detection Platform for Digital Identity Protection

FakeXpose was created to address a growing challenge in the AI era: the rapid rise of fake videos, cloned voices, and manipulated digital media targeting public figures and organizations.

Backed by the University of Michigan, the project focused on building a custom ML-based deepfake detection platform trained on media patterns from influential public figures to help identify manipulated audio and video content more accurately.

What we built

Origami Studios developed the AI platform with explainability features that not only detected fake media but also explained why specific content was flagged through confidence scoring and forensic-level reasoning.

Client's challenge

AI-generated media manipulation was becoming increasingly difficult to identify using traditional verification methods.

The project required a system capable of:

  • Detecting fake audio and video content
  • Identifying digital impersonation attempts
  • Processing media quickly
  • Producing explainable verification results instead of binary outputs


Most available deepfake detection tools lacked transparency, making it difficult for users to trust or validate detection results in high-risk scenarios involving public figures and sensitive media content.



The platform also needed scalable AI processing pipelines capable of analyzing both video and audio inputs efficiently.

Our solution

Origami Studios developed FakeXpose as a custom AI-powered deepfake detection platform using machine learning, computer vision, and audio analysis models.


The platform was trained on media datasets associated with highly influential public figures to improve pattern recognition across manipulated content scenarios.


The system analyzed:


  • Facial inconsistencies
  • Audio manipulation patterns
  • Lip-sync mismatches
  • Synthetic voice indicators
  • Frame-level media anomalies


A key part of the platform was its explainable AI layer, which generated:


  • Confidence scores
  • Detection reasoning
  • Forensic-level analysis outputs
  • Media authenticity indicators

This helped users understand why media was flagged rather than relying on black-box AI predictions.

Computer Vision + Deep Learning

<3 sec

Average media verification time

Audio and video analysed end-to-end in seconds no manual forensic review needed for routine verification cases.

Real-time media processing pipeline

3-in-1

Unified multimodal detection

A single platform detecting fakes across video, audio, and image replacing three separate manual workflows with one AI system.

Video + Audio + Image models

100%

Explainable AI verification outputs

Every detection decision comes with confidence scores, forensic reasoning, and media authenticity indicators so users understand exactly why a piece of content was flagged, not just that it was

Biggest trust & transparency impact

Scalable

Cloud-native high-volume architecture

Built to process high volumes of suspicious media across pipelines organisations can scale verification without adding analysts or slowing detection speed.

Enterprise-ready AI infrastructure

What this meant for FakeXpose's team day-to-day

  • Faster verdicts: Analysts stopped waiting on manual review — AI delivered detection results with reasoning in seconds
