Lucian Boaghe

Lucian Boaghe is 17, from Moldova, a country that doesn’t just read about disinformation, it lives it. He grew up watching deepfakes target real elections and fabricated videos shift public opinion before anyone could respond. That’s what led him to co-found DeepGuard. A video verification platform built on one realization: the fake doesn’t have to be convincing, it just has to move faster than the truth. 3,000 users. Pilot discussions across three countries. DeepGuard is his attempt to close that gap.
