Service: TrueBee (Digital forensics and blockchain tech against deceptive deepfake imaging in social media)

Responsible organisation: University of Trento (Consortium)

The project (part of subcall of EU Project Troublo) intends to combine artificial intelligence tools for the recognition and classification of false images and a blockchain system to create a register, where the classification can be indelibly saved. This register must then be made accessible so that it can be consulted for any doubts in distinguishing real images from falsified images. The TrueBees project was among the winners (fifteen selected out of 90 applications from all over Europe) of the call launched by Trublo. Trublo is part of the European NGI (Next Generation Internet) initiative, funded under the Horizon 2020 program, to promote studies on how new technologies, and in particular blockchain, can revolutionize the media sector. Trublo supports the launch of industry research projects for the development of new software, platforms or tools. The term blockchain technologies indicates a set of traceability techniques that allow to retrace and reconstruct the processing chain, the life cycle of the multimedia data, through the traces left by the acquisition system, the encoding and re-encoding of the signal, but also to shed light on provenance, manipulation and sharing on social networks.
