What is Euclidean distance in deepfake detection?

It's the straight-line math between two face embeddings—think vector subtraction squared, root taken. Lower score means closer match, court-defendable proof over fuzzy AI guesses.

How do deepfakes bypass KYC systems?

Deepfake-as-a-Service APIs generate spoof frames that fool static checks; no blink, no sweat, but now batch vector compares catch the biometric mismatch.

Will CaraComp replace enterprise forensic tools?

It matches their Euclidean core at fraction cost—no black box. But scale your own pipelines; don't vendor-lock forever.
