YouTube Launches Likeness Detection Pilot Program
YouTube launches a pilot likeness-detection tool giving government officials, journalists, and political candidates the ability to find AI-generated deepfakes of their faces and request removal, the company said in a Tuesday blog post. Participants must verify their identity and can opt out; YouTube says setup data will not train its generative models. The company plans to expand access, explore creator revenue, and advocate for the NO FAKES Act.
