YouTube Expands AI Deepfake Detection to All Adults 18+ — Government ID and Selfie Verification Required
YouTube opened its AI likeness detection tool to all creators aged 18+, the broadest availability since the tool's 2024 preview. Users enroll in YouTube Studio, submit government ID and a selfie video, and YouTube scans uploaded videos for face matches. The phased rollout went from Partner Program members to journalists/politicians to celebrities, and now to all eligible adults. For builders: this signals platform-level biometric verification infrastructure becoming standard for content trust.
