Artificial Intelligence (AI) Manipulated Media Detection Across Telecommunications Networks

A method to detect artificial intelligence (AI) manipulation of media within a telecommunications network, the method comprising:

• receiving, with a processing system including one or more electronic processors, a media item published to a media platform such that the media item is made publicly accessible via the media platform;
• determining, with the processing system, that the media item involves an entity included in a list of entities to be monitored;
• providing, with the processing system, the media item to an artificial intelligence (AI) model, the AI model to determine whether the media item includes a manipulated representation of the entity;
• receiving, with the processing system, from the AI model, an indication of whether the media item includes the manipulated representation of the entity;
• and
• executing, with the processing system, an action with respect to the media item based on the indication.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more electronic processors of a processing system in a telecommunications network, cause the processing system to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a media item;
• determining that the media item involves an entity included in a list of entities to be monitored;
• providing the media item to an artificial intelligence (AI) model, the AI model to determine whether the media item includes manipulated content related to the entity;
• receiving, from the AI model, an indication of whether the media item includes manipulated content related to the entity;
• and
• executing an action with respect to the media item based on the indication.
