Summary
A phone call used to mean trust. Now it could be AI. DetectifAI is building the next layer of cybersecurity for the AI era Not another chatbot Not another AI wrapper Foundational models built to detect audio deepfakes It started with something personal. Tarini's grandfather lost thousands of dollars to a simple deepfake. That moment became the reason to build. Tarini had already been in machine learning since grade six Nearly a decade studying how AI works She saw where the technology was headed - and what was missing Fraud has existed for a very long time Cybersecurity has existed for a very long time Deepfake detection is that same discipline extended into the AI world. Today, DetectifAI serves clients across banking, finance, security, telecoms, and OEMs An API that integrates into existing enterprise infrastructure And on mobile, it goes even deeper - into the OEM layer itself. Which makes the vision tangible. You answer a call. Your phone gives you a rolling update on whether that voice is likely AI or a real human Detection during the call. Not after the money is gone. The scale comes from where it's deployed. A single OEM integration can unlock protection for millions of people. And deepfake detection is only the first step. The larger vision is an anti-fraud landscape that helps people navigate scam calls, robocalls, and anything that falls under the purview of fraud. The next generation of AI companies won't just build intelligence They'll build trust 🎙️ Tarini Padmanabhuni , CEO, DetectifAI on Fondo START pod 00:57 Founder origin story 01:18 ML background 01:42 Audio deepfake detection 01:53 Enterprise customers 02:15 Growing AI fraud 02:39 AI cybersecurity 03:16 Enterprise integration 03:29 Telecom and OEM strategy 03:46 OEM distribution vision 04:13 Real-ti…
