The U.S. Department of Defense has awarded a U$2.4 million contract to AI company Hive for deepfake detection of video, image, and audio content. The two-year deal aims to reinforce the country’s national security and the agency’s readiness for the future spread of misinformation, threats, and conflict. Hive's prototype is expected to enable the DoD to detect and counter AI deception at scale, maintaining the nation’s information advantage in an increasingly complex digital battlefield.

About

Founded in 2022, Hive is reinventing the cloud from a centralized model that uses expensive physical servers to a distributed cloud infrastructure that aggregates individual devices’ unused hard drive and computing capacities. Hive’s model helps businesses efficiently manage their cloud-related expenses, reduce dependency on a select few cloud providers, and significantly reduces cloud energy use. In 2023, global data centres, which power the world’s cloud, consumed 7.4 Gigawatts of power, a 55% increase from 2022. Currently, data centres account for up to 3% of global electricity consumption, with projections suggesting this could rise to 4% by 2030.
