TrueMedia.org was a non-profit, non-partisan project offering free tools to detect deepfakes and other AI-manipulated media online. It combined multiple AI models from industry and academia to give an aggregated assessment of whether images, audio, or videos were likely manipulated.
As generative AI tools make creating deepfakes much easier, misinformation and manipulated media have grown—especially around high-stakes events like elections. TrueMedia.org aimed to empower journalists, researchers, fact-checkers, and the wider public with tools to quickly assess media integrity, helping reduce the spread of falsehoods online.
TrueMedia.org provided an online interface that accepted media inputs and returned detection results by aggregating outputs from dozens of deepfake detection models and proprietary research. It also offered quiz tools and educational content to help people learn how to spot manipulated media. As of early 2025, the hosted service was shut down and its code and models released as open-source so developers can extend and build on the work.
