YouTube’s New AI Tool Fights Deepfakes
YouTube has launched an AI likeness-detection system to alert creators when their face appears in videos uploaded by others.
The tool uses advanced machine learning to flag potential deepfakes or unauthorized use of a creator’s likeness, giving eligible creators the chance to review and request removal of videos that misuse their image.
How it Works
The likeness-detection feature works like YouTube’s existing Content ID system, except it targets a person’s face rather than copyrighted audio and video content.
Eligibility and Access
To be eligible to set up likeness detection, creators must be over 18 and only the Channel Owner or users listed as Managers of the channel can set up and onboard to likeness detection.
