Analysed 12 Nov 2026·3 sources analysed·New Delhi, India·Technology
Neural Defend Tops Global Benchmark for AI Voice Deepfake DetectionPreviousNext

Neural Defend has been ranked first globally for detecting AI-generated voices on an independent benchmark by voice-AI evaluator Podonos. Its Arcas 290M and Arcas 90M models each scored 99.93 accuracy on 4,524 audio clips, with minimal errors. The smaller Arcas 90M runs faster and can operate offline on phones. Podonos, backed by NAVER, independently scores vendors on the same dataset, providing a transparent comparison among 28 detection systems from commercial and open-source sources.
