RealityDefender: CEO Ben Colman on Deepfake Detection

Ben is a serial entrepreneur, and his latest company is right in the middle of an exciting battle between the progress of AI and the defense capabilities to ensure its unethical uses are limited. Ben is CEO and co-founder of RealityDefender, which provides deepfake detection capabilities to determine if visual and audio media is AI generated. This is incredibly relevant right now, as there are news headlines every week with exploits featuring deepfake content. Before RealityDefender, Ben founded Covertix, a data protection company he sold after just a year. Before that, he had experience in banking and with another startup which leveraged blockchain for voting.
