HYDAWAY DIGITAL LAUNCHES DETECT POWERED BY REALITYCHEK

Hydaway Digital Corp. has launched Detect by RealityChek. Detect allows users to upload images and URLs, leveraging RealityChek's state-of-the-art detection model, powered by Hydaways GPUs (graphics processing units), helping users determine whether the content is real.

As of early 2026, the volume of AI-generated (artificial intelligence) fake images exploded with tens of millions being produced on a daily basis. According to CBC, that number has grown to over 34 million AI images being created every single day, with over 15 billion images having been created since the rise of AI in 2022. Recent studies have shown that participants are fooled by AI-generated images roughly 40 per cent of the time.

Global conflicts in Ukraine, Iran and elsewhere have prompted a wave of viral war footage on-line across thousands of platforms. But many of the images and videos being shared that are gaining millions of views are misleading, wrongly captioned or entirely AI generated. Social media is awash in fake images designed to sell products, deliberately mislead consumers, and influence or manipulate unsuspecting people in innumerable ways.

"This rapid growth of AI-generated content has continued to lead to widespread misinformation being shared globally on-line. Never before has misinformation become more mainstream then with the rise of AI-generated content. Detect is built to counter just that, combining AI with forensic tools to produce a reliable verdict you can trust," commented Karl Kottmeier, chief executive officer of Hydaway.

The launch of Detect helps users verify content while continuing RealityChek's mission to strengthen its position at the frontier of the next-gen digital threat and cybersecurity landscape. Leveraging multilayer functionality, analyzing noise, frequency, compression and pixel-level artifacts, Detect uses advanced neural networks to train and identify AI-generated content.
