Summary: YouTube’s likeness detection technology has officially launched Crunch

1. YouTube's likeness detection technology is now available to creators in the Partner Program, allowing them to remove AI-generated content using their likeness.
- The technology identifies and manages content featuring a creator's face or voice to prevent misuse and endorsement of unsupported products/services or spreading misinformation.

2. Creators can access the technology by visiting the "Likeness" tab, consenting to data processing, scanning a QR code with their smartphone for identity verification (requires photo ID and a brief selfie video).
- Once granted access, creators can view detected videos, submit removal requests according to YouTube's privacy guidelines, or make a copyright request.

3. Creators have the option to opt-out of using the technology at any time, and YouTube will stop scanning for their videos 24 hours after they do so. YouTube first announced this partnership with CAA last year to help celebrities, athletes, and creators identify AI-generated content on the platform. They also expressed support for the NO FAKES ACT legislation in April.
