Lavawave Launches AI Lava Scanner to Detect Harmful Videos and Deepfakes

Lava Wave, a company specializing in digital crime response, has launched its next-generation illegal content detection solution, 'Lava Scanner', opening new horizons in digital crime response. Lava Scanner, which has significantly upgraded the performance of the existing 'Hyper Detect', has innovatively improved its detection range and accuracy, and is expected to become a powerful defense against the surging illegal filming and deepfake crimes. Lava Scanner goes beyond the limitations of simple face image-based detection, monitoring a wide range of internet networks, including SNS and pornography sites. In particular, by utilizing AI technology to precisely analyze not only faces but also backgrounds, objects, human poses, and shooting angles, it boasts sophisticated technological capabilities to find similar videos and images. For example, it can accurately identify background elements like a red curtain in a specific video, or content with similar poses and angles. This precise detection technology is expected to expand beyond illegal content detection into the field of brand and product misappropriation prevention. It is anticipated to be actively utilized for protecting brand value and responding to copyright infringement, not only for cases of corporate logo plagiarism or similar design infringement, but also for automatically searching for similar images with model poses or product placements in the fashion and beauty industries. Deepfake crimes, which have recently spread throughout society, including K-pop celebrities, are emerging as a serious social problem. Their scope of damage is expanding into the public domain, such as cases where school staff avoid graduation album photos during graduation season, or blackmail using photos of local council members. Amid criticism that the government's efforts to strengthen platform regulations are ironically causing crimes to go underground and making investigations more difficult, the urgent need for a technological response that goes beyond the limitations of current policies focused solely on strengthening punishment is becoming dire. Lava Wave plans to fundamentally block the actual online distribution of illegal videos through Lava Scanner and focus on minimizing victim trauma by supporting the deletion of existing distributed content. Furthermore, by continuously enhancing functions such as specific body part detection, voiceprint analysis, and video frame-unit recognition, it has promised to proactively counter rapidly evolving digital crimes and lead the way in protecting victims.
