Voice deepfakes, also known as voice-cloning scams, use AI to impersonate people, making them appear to say things they did not. As the most sophisticated deepfake voice detector globally, Loccus.ai can identify AI-generated voices with just 1.5 seconds of audio, alerting users to scams in real-time.
Loccus.ai’s cutting-edge technology is now available as Hiya AI Voice Detection. The solution is versatile, supporting multiple languages, formats, and platforms, including video recordings and live calls across all devices.

By bringing together the power of the Hiya Voice Security Platform with Loccus.ai’s deepfake voice detection, our solutions are ready for the era of GenAI.” - Hiya CEO and Founder Alex Algard.
With the rise of deepfakes and video impersonation scams, which use AI voice cloning, consumers and businesses face a growing threat of voice fraud. In 2023, 45% of consumers reported receiving a call from someone impersonating a legitimate business according to the State of the Call 2024 report. Additionally, 27% of US consumers and 18% of UK consumers believe they were targeted by an AI deepfake voice scam between April and July this year, according to our research conducted with OnePoll in July 2024.
