Dubai to launch region’s first AI model to detect deepfake videos

The Dubai Electronic Security Centre (DESC) is set to launch SARAAB, an AI model designed to detect deepfake videos. This tool is a critical addition to the industrial cybersecurity landscape, where procurement and financial transactions are increasingly targeted by sophisticated digital fraud. For procurement professionals, verifying the authenticity of video-based inspections or remote factory audits is essential.

Incorporating AI-driven security tools into procurement protocols can safeguard against fraudulent equipment demonstrations or identity theft during high-value contract negotiations. As industrial systems become more digitized, investing in cybersecurity software and AI detection models becomes a mandatory part of equipment procurement to ensure the integrity of the supply chain.
