TikTok is testing an AI likeness detection tool
TikTok is testing an opt-in tool that allows creators to verify their identity and report unauthorized AI-generated likenesses. The feature requires a selfie scan and ID check, though the company states it does not retain personal identification documents.
Why it matters
As AI-generated deepfakes become more prevalent, platforms are under increasing pressure to provide tools that protect creator identity and intellectual property rights.
TikTok is starting to test an opt-in tool that scans for AI likenesses and lets creators report them to the company, as spotted by social media consultant Matt Navarra. The tool is initially being tested with “some” US creators, TikTok US spokesperson Zachary Kizer tells The Verge. YouTube has been working on a similar tool and recently made it available to all adult users.
