Resemble AI Secures $13M to Launch 98% Accurate Deepfake Detection Model Amid Rising Threats

Resemble AI secures $13M to enhance its 98% accurate DEEPFAKE detection model, addressing $1.56B in losses from deepfake-related fraud.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / December 8, 2025 / Resemble AI, a platform focused on securing enterprise generative AI from creation to distribution, has announced a $13 million strategic investment round. Participating investors include Berkeley Frontier Fund, Comcast Ventures, Craft Ventures, Gentree Fund, Google’s AI Futures Fund, IAG Capital Partners, Javelin Venture Partners, KDDI Open Innovation Fund, Okta Ventures, Sony Innovation Fund, Taiwania Capital, and Ubiquity Ventures. This latest funding brings the company’s total venture capital raised to $25 million.

The rise of generative AI has given way to an alarming increase in deepfake technology, which is becoming increasingly difficult to differentiate from authentic content. In 2025, deepfake-related fraud resulted in losses amounting to $1.56 billion, with projections suggesting that generative AI could facilitate U.S. fraud losses reaching $40 billion by 2027. In response, organizations are under heightened pressure to verify digital content authenticity and protect themselves against disinformation and fraud.

Resemble AI is addressing these challenges with its real-time verification technology, designed to combat deepfake threats that target both humans and AI agents. The latest round of investment will expedite the global expansion of its AI detection platform, which features the newly launched DETECT-3B Omni, an enterprise-grade deepfake detection model exhibiting 98% accuracy across more than 38 languages. The platform also includes Resemble Intelligence, enhancing explainability for multimodal and AI-generated analysis, powered by Google Gemini 3.

“The backing of our strategic investors highlights the critical need for a real-time AI verification platform,” said Zohaib Ahmed, Cofounder and CEO of Resemble AI. “Our extensive generative AI expertise enables us to stay ahead of attacks with instant detection, and this funding scales our capabilities worldwide so organizations can protect their people, brand, and revenue from deepfake threats of any type, including audio, video, still images, and text.”

The DETECT-3B Omni model has gained prominence among global entertainment companies, Fortune 500 telecommunications providers, and government agencies. It consistently ranks No. 1 on image and speech deepfake detection leaderboards on Hugging Face, a leading authority in the category, outperforming its closest competitor by an impressive 66% in average error.

“Resemble AI is a forward-thinking company shaping the future of responsible AI,” commented Jonathan Silber, Co-Founder and Director of Google’s AI Futures Fund. “By integrating Gemini into its deepfake detection system, Resemble AI is helping bring clearer, factual context to generative content and bridging the gap between powerful AI creation tools and the trust the world needs to use them.”

Austin Noronha, Managing Director at Sony Ventures – U.S., noted the urgency of Resemble AI’s work amid escalating generative AI threats. “The rapid improvements in generative AI spawn new challenges for enterprises to determine authenticity,” he remarked. “Resemble AI is addressing this critical cybersecurity need with an elegant solution offering strengthened trust, transparency, and safety across audio and visual deepfake detection.”

Stephen Lee, VP of Technical Strategy & Partnerships at Okta, highlighted that the rise of generative AI and deepfake-driven fraud presents an increasing challenge for identity systems. “Resemble AI’s technology provides the kind of AI-powered signal verification that will be critical to strengthening the identity security fabric,” he stated. “It helps protect trust across authentication, workforce, and customer experiences.”

In conjunction with its monitoring of deepfake-related attacks, Resemble AI has shared several predictions regarding the threat landscape for 2026. These include potential government mandates for deepfake detection in official video conferencing, driven by the targeting of government officials in 2025, which could present a procurement opportunity exceeding $500 million.

The company also anticipates that organizations embedding real-world training and proactive governance into their systems will gain a competitive edge as sweeping AI regulations take effect globally. Furthermore, companies adopting zero trust principles for both human and machine identities are expected to remain protected and compliant.

As deepfake-related threats continue evolving, Resemble AI warns that corporate cyber insurance premiums are likely to rise following numerous incidents in 2025, particularly in the financial sector. Firms lacking deployed deepfake detection could face higher rates or policy denials.

Resemble AI is committed to securing enterprise generative AI, leveraging its advanced capabilities to counter the emerging risks posed by deepfake technology. For more information about the company and its initiatives in the deepfake landscape, visit Resemble AI’s website.

At AIPressa, my work focuses on exploring the paradox of AI in cybersecurity: it's both our best defense and our greatest threat. I've closely followed how AI systems detect vulnerabilities in milliseconds while attackers simultaneously use them to create increasingly sophisticated malware. My approach: explaining technical complexities in an accessible way without losing the urgency of the topic. When I'm not researching the latest AI-driven threats, I'm probably testing security tools or reading about the next attack vector keeping CISOs awake at night.
