YouTube Introduces New Tools for Creators to Combat Deepfake Videos by AI
YouTube Introduces New Tools for Creators
In a bid to address growing concerns about work being copied or misused, YouTube has announced the rollout of several new tools for creators. Among these tools is the likeness detection tool, which is now available to all creators who qualify for the YouTube Partner Program.
The likeness detection tool works similarly to YouTube's Content ID system, but instead of focusing on copyright-protected content, it protects an individual's identity. Creators can enable the tool by uploading an image of their face for the system to analyze. The tool uses AI to identify unauthorized use of a creator's face in videos.
Tyler Robinson was the first creator to test the likeness detection tool. Top creators such as MrBeast and Marques Brownlee were also part of the initial testing.
YouTube is also enhancing its auto-dubbing features, testing lip-syncing technology for more natural audio. Auto-dubbing is already available in over 20 languages.
In addition to these tools, YouTube is introducing Ask Studio, an AI-powered chatbot for creator support. Ask Studio allows creators to ask questions about their videos in natural language.
YouTube has also updated its A/B testing feature, allowing creators to test and compare up to three different video titles and thumbnails.
Creators can manage or request the removal of flagged videos through YouTube's privacy complaint process.
These new tools are part of YouTube's efforts to address the risks associated with the rise in AI tools and ensure a safer environment for its creators. The company continues to invest in technology and resources to support its creators and help them grow their channels.
With these new tools, YouTube is demonstrating its commitment to empowering creators and providing them with the resources they need to succeed on the platform.
