Advancing to Phase 2 of the SPRIND Funken Challenge
Gretchen AI selected among top teams developing real-time deepfake detection technology
We’re thrilled to share that Gretchen AI has been selected for Phase 2 of the SPRIN-D ‘s Funken Challenge, a prestigious innovation competition dedicated to combating image-based deepfakes.
This challenge represents a significant opportunity to address one of the most pressing issues in digital media today. Our task is to develop a robust prototype capable of detecting and preventing deepfakes in real-time across diverse digital platforms, including social media networks, news portals, and video conferencing systems.
What sets our approach apart is our AI’s ability to continuously adapt to emerging manipulation techniques. As deepfake technology becomes increasingly sophisticated, our system is designed to evolve alongside these threats, ensuring long-term effectiveness. We’ve also prioritized seamless integration with existing digital infrastructures, understanding that practical implementation is just as crucial as technical capability.
The competition culminates in November 2025 with the final jury round, where the most promising deepfake defense prototype will be selected. We’re honored to advance to this stage and grateful for SPRIN-D’s continued support throughout this process.
