YouTube developing tools to protect creators from voice cloning, deepfakes

YouTube is in the process of creating innovative tools to empower its creators against content that imitates their voice or likeness using generative AI.

YouTube is developing a new technology that will creators, actors, musicians, and athletes to detect and manage AI-generated content showing their faces on YouTube.

The company announced this initiative as part of its commitment to protect its creators and partners, while also promoting responsible AI development. The first tool being developed is a “synthetic-singing identification technology,” which will allow creators and artists to automatically detect and manage content that mimics their singing voices using generative AI.

The use — and misuse — of AI has sparked a lot of concerns among the artist and creator community. Artists have been worried about their voice or face being used for AI-generated content. You Tube is rolling out new tools for creators and artists and giving them more control.

According to Amjad Hanif, vice president of creator products, the platform has developed a new synthetic-singing identification technology within Content ID that will allow partners to automatically detect and manage AI-generated content on YouTube that simulates their singing voices. “We’re refining this technology with our partners, with a pilot program planned for early next year,” said Hanif in a blog post.
