Abstract

The proliferation of deepfake media stirred grave doubts over media authenticity threatening digital trust and social coherence. This paper proposes a new technique of deepfake detection from images and videos through the use of a hybrid of MobileNet spatial feature extraction and Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) networks for the analysis of temporal patterns. The proposed system ensures efficient real-time detection by achieving high classification accuracy while keeping computational efficiency. The model integrates Explainable AI (XAI) techniques such as Grad-CAM heatmaps to provide visual interpretation of the detected anomalies which can be measured using data from different the system is optimized for deployment on edge devices and offers scalability across platforms like social media news agencies and law enforcement of large scale applications. Future enhancements include extending system capabilities to multi-modal deepfake detection and continuous learning for evolving threats.
