Concordia Edmonton, Treefort Technologies partner on facial recognition technology

Concordia University of Edmonton and Treefort Technologies, Inc have partnered to address identity fraud and cybercrime. Students from Concordia Edmonton’s information security programs will be working with Treefort Technologies on facial recognition technology that can detect deepfakes. “That’s the best thing that can happen to you as a student,” said Concordia Edmonton student Siddharth Dua. “You’re learning and you’re applying that knowledge in the practical world. It’s giving me Canadian experience […while teaching me] how the businesses operate here and how I can use this knowledge.”
