"By rigorously testing deepfake technologies against real-world threats and setting clear expectations for industry, this framework will significantly bolster law enforcement's ability to stay ahead of offenders, protect victims and strengthen public confidence as these technologies continue to evolve."
"We need a systemic and global amendment of legislation - not just legally unenforceable code of conduct or best practices - to stop the surging harm of AI-created content,"
"In sum, while this commendable action is a solid start, we are still very far from a final solution."
The UK Home Office will develop a framework described as a 'world-first' to evaluate deepfake detection technologies. The program involves Microsoft, other technology companies and academic partners to assess methods for identifying harmful forgeries. The government estimates deepfake sharing rose from 500,000 in 2023 to eight million in 2025. City of London Police leaders expect the framework to improve law enforcement response, victim protection and public confidence. A cybersecurity CEO warned the plan alone is unlikely to produce systemic improvements without global legislative changes and clearer enforcement and remediation pathways. The Home Office has not specified a timeline or technologies to be used.
