TikTok Tests AI Deepfake Detection Tool for Some US Creators as YouTube Broadens Similar Access

Summary
TikTok has begun testing an opt-in tool with some US creators that scans for AI-generated likenesses and lets them report suspected unauthorized deepfakes.
Creators in the test must verify their identity through Jumio using a real-time selfie and ID check before TikTok’s system can match their likeness against AI-generated content.
TikTok says it does not retain ID documents and uses facial information only for likeness matching and to help identify potential misuse.
The test puts TikTok alongside YouTube, which has been developing a similar detection system and recently opened it to all adult users.
