The Verge
TikTok is testing a new opt-in tool that allows creators to scan for and report unauthorized AI-generated deepfakes of themselves.

Summary

TikTok has launched a limited test for a new tool designed to help creators identify and report unauthorized AI-generated content. By opting into the program and verifying their identity through a third-party service called Jumio, creators can have the platform scan for AI deepfakes that use their likeness. The company emphasizes that facial data is used solely for matching purposes and is not permanently retained, mirroring similar safety initiatives recently implemented by YouTube.
