The tool works a lot like YouTube's Content ID system: it scans for lookalike faces in videos so celebrities or their reps can quickly request takedowns or copyright actions.
Big agencies like CAA, UTA, WME, and Untitled Management have offered feedback on the tool.
Plus, YouTube says audio detection will be supported in the future.

Beyond the tech updates, YouTube is also pushing for federal laws, like the NO FAKES Act, to stop unauthorized AI-made likenesses.
It's a sign they're serious about helping people keep control of their own identity online.
