YouTube has launched an AI likeness-detection system designed 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.
To be eligible to set up likeness detection, you must be over 18. Only the Channel Owner or users listed as Managers of the channel can set up and onboard to likeness detection.
