创始人塔里尼·帕德马纳布尼（Tarini Padmanabhuni）因祖父遭遇AI深度伪造语音诈骗而创立了DetectifAI公司1。诈骗者冒充其叔叔的声音向其祖父要求支付赎金1。这一经历促使帕德马纳布尼开发了一款能够直接运行在智能手机操作系统中的紧凑型AI模型，用于实时检测来电和语音消息中的AI生成语音1。
AI驱动的语音诈骗问题日益严峻。美国FBI数据显示，美国人去年因AI驱动诈骗损失接近9亿美元，较2024年增长24%1。其中，60岁及以上人群的损失金额是50-59岁人群的两倍1。
DetectifAI目前已实现初期收入，为印度金融机构每月处理超过10万通电话1。公司计划向手机制造商授权该技术1。帕德马纳布尼从12岁开始学习机器学习，曾担任印度Manipal理工学院Formula Student无人驾驶赛车部门最年轻的团队负责人1。DetectifAI已获得前TechCrunch编辑乔什·康斯坦丁（Josh Constine）和KM Growth咨询公司合伙人玛诺哈尔·卡马思（Manohar Kamath）的天使轮融资1。该公司将参加2025年10月13-15日在旧金山举行的TechCrunch Disrupt大会Startup Battlefield竞赛1。
Tarini Padmanabhuni founded DetectifAI after her grandfather fell victim to an AI-generated voice scam in which a fraudster impersonated her uncle and demanded ransom payment 1. The incident prompted her to develop technology capable of detecting artificially synthesized voices in real time, addressing a growing threat in the digital landscape.
The company has created a compact AI model that runs directly on smartphone operating systems to detect AI-generated audio in incoming calls and voice messages 1. DetectifAI is already processing real-world use cases, having handled over 100,000 phone calls monthly for Indian financial institutions 1. The company plans to license its technology to mobile phone manufacturers to expand its reach 1.
The threat of voice-based fraud is substantial and accelerating. According to U.S. FBI data, Americans lost nearly 900 million dollars to AI-driven scams last year, representing a 24 percent increase from 2024 1. Victims aged 60 and older lost twice as much as those between 50 and 59 years old 1. Padmanabhuni brings relevant technical experience to the challenge, having started learning machine learning at age 12 and serving as the youngest team leader in Manipal Institute of Technology's Formula Student autonomous racing program in India 1.
DetectifAI has secured angel funding from former TechCrunch editor Josh Constine and Manohar Kamath, a partner at KM Growth consulting firm 1. The company is scheduled to compete in the Startup Battlefield competition at TechCrunch Disrupt, taking place October 13–15, 2025, in San Francisco 1.
