We are proud to announce that TC&C and the BME Department of Automation and Applied Informatics (AUT) have received the prestigious 2025 Zipernowsky Károly Innovation Award for the development of the CARIN Deepfake Guard system. This recognition highlights one of the most significant innovation achievements at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME), emphasizing excellence in research and industry collaboration.
Developed jointly since 2024, CARIN Deepfake Guard is a real-time, multimodal deepfake detection solution integrated into the CARIN call recording platform. It can simultaneously identify AI-generated voice cloning, facial manipulation, and synthetic text—addressing critical risks in sectors such as finance, government, and customer service.
Expected to reach near-market readiness (TRL7) within a year, the solution is positioned to compete both in Hungary and internationally, contributing to advancements in digital security, data protection, and the fight against disinformation.
The award was presented on December 3, 2025, at the “Those We Are Proud Of” event, recognizing outstanding innovation within the university.
