A thesis about trusting what you watch
OriginAI was built by four Computer Science students at the University of the East, Manila, so that anyone, not just experts, can check whether a video of a person has been faked.
Why we built it
Making a convincing fake video no longer takes special skills. Checking one still does. Most detection research stays in papers and code that only specialists can run.
We wanted something simpler: upload a clip, get an answer you can understand, and know how much to trust it.
From a Celeb-DF v2 clip. The glow is a simple illustration of where a detector looks.
What we promised ourselves
Four rules shaped every screen of OriginAI.
Plain words
You shouldn't need to know anything about AI to understand your result.
Show the context
Every score comes with the detector used and the line it was measured against.
Care for your video
Uploads are deleted as soon as the check ends. Results disappear after an hour.
People decide
OriginAI points you to what to look at. What's true is still your call.

We'd love to hear from you, whether it's about a result, the detectors or the research behind them.
