In the end, YouTube offers essential power to users by letting them report AI-deep fakes of themselves.
The AI-powered features are for making daily tasks more effortless, but the AI-generated content, especially deep fakes, has caused efficiency troubles. Until now, users didn’t even have the right to do anything against AI-generated fakes of themselves. Now YouTube has finally taken a stand regarding this trouble by expanding its privacy request process to allow users to request the removal of AI-generated or other synthetic or altered content of themselves.
YouTube announced that it’s expanding its privacy request process to permit users to request the removal of AI-generated or other synthetic or altered content about themselves. According to social media, the decision to have a more responsible approach towards AI-generated content is related to the fact that AI-generated fakes have become more common lately.
In a way, they have received so much hate and revealing feedback that they are now forced to make some changes. In any scenario, if someone would like to request the removal of their AI deep fakes, they must use the privacy-request process on YouTube. The service will evaluate the request and consider “a variety of factors before removal,” for instance, whether the content makes changes or is synthetic and could be mistaken for real.
Although it has yet to be seen, YouTube is quite intent on removing what it tags as parody and satire content, including famous figures. YouTube has also announced that creators notified about privacy complaints will not receive any strikes since privacy violations are separate from community guidelines strikes.
