Resemble AI's technology focuses on using generative AI to provide real-time data verification for enterprises, primarily through two core products: the deepfake detection model Detect-3B Omni and the multimodal analysis platform Intelligence. Detect-3B Omni is a multimodal model with 3 billion parameters, which the company claims has a 98% accuracy rate in over 40 languages. This system can detect potential threats in audio, video, images, and text in real time, identifying harmful patterns across different media.

The Intelligence platform provides contextual analysis of generated content, helping users understand the authenticity of the content and why it was created. With the newly raised funds, Resemble AI stated in a press release that it will accelerate its global expansion and support further development of its AI detection products.

As the number of deepfake-related fraud cases continues to rise, Resemble AI estimates that businesses lost $1.56 billion this year due to these incidents. It is expected that fraud losses caused by generative AI could reach $40 billion in the United States by 2027. Resemble AI mentioned on its website: "From financial fraud to corporate espionage, from brand impersonation to attacks on government officials, deepfake threats are no longer theoretical—they are happening and accelerating."

Resemble AI was founded in 2018 as a voice and media cloning service provider and later expanded into the security field using its AI expertise.
