We invite you to participate at the first Grand Challenge entitled
Adversarial Attacks on Deepfake Detectors: A Challenge in the Era of AI-Generated Media (AADD-2025)
accepted on ACM Multimedia 2025
Grand Challenge – Overview
The goal of this challenge is to investigate adversarial vulnerabilities of deepfake detection models by generating adversarial perturbed deepfake images that evade state-of-the-art classifiers while maintaining high visual similarity to the original deepfake content. Given the increasing reliance on deepfake detectors in forensic analysis and content moderation, ensuring their robustness against adversarial attacks is of paramount importance. Over the next 3-5 years, this challenge will contribute to the development of more resilient deepfake detection methodologies, mitigating risks associated with adversarial manipulations.
The aim of this challenge is to expose and address vulnerabilities in current deepfake detection systems by designing adversarial attacks that alter deepfake images—rendering them unrecognizable as synthetic content to 4 proposed classifiers—while preserving high visual similarity to the original images. Participants will be provided with one dataset, divided into sixteen subsets: four GAN-based models and four diffusion-based models in high quality resolution, and four GAN-based models and four diffusion-based models in low quality resolution. Participants must focus on the entire dataset. In addition to developing effective adversarial perturbations, participants are required to submit an abstract that outlines their methodology and attach the adversarial images.
