YouTube expands AI Likeness Detection to protect celebrities from deepfakes. YouTube is expanding AI likeness detection to help celebrities and talent agencies find and remove deepfakes. AI Likeness Detection: Key points at glance * Access Expansion: The software is now accessible to talent agencies, management firms, and the celebrities that they represent. * Deepfake Detection: The AI likeness detection is built to detect artificial content, including deepfakes of a user's face, and report it. * Removal Requests: In a similar fashion to how Content ID works with songs and videos, the performers may now locate their AI content and ask for its removal. * No Channel Needed: The celebrities are eligible for this software despite not posting any content on their YouTube channels. * Industry Partnership: Leading talent agencies such as Creative Artists Agency (CAA), United Talent Agency (UTA), William Morris Endeavor (WME), and Untitled Management collaborated in perfecting the software. Table of Contents As AI becomes capable of mimicking a person's voice and even their face with great accuracy. The entertainment industry is facing another form of cyberattack. Deepfakes, which are AI-generated videos that feature someone else speaking or doing something. Posing a serious risk to actors themselves, not to mention their agencies. As such, YouTube has rolled out a big update to its likeness detection tools. YouTube can achieve this by collaborating with leading talent management firms. Such as Creative Artists Agency (CAA), United Talent Agency (UTA), and William Morris Endeavor Entertainment (WME). This program enables celebrities and entertainment stars to keep track of their images on the website, regardless of whether they have their own channels. Protecting the stars in the age of AI. The development of AI-based facial recognition represents a breakthrough regarding online safety in the entertainment industry. Traditionally, the sector used "Content ID" to ensure that its copyrighted material is safeguarded. However, preserving a person's physical appearance and voice are even more complex issues. In making sure that celebrities have the same technology applied to films or music, YouTube recognizes the value and sensitivity of a person's identity. As far as I am concerned, it is an inevitable step that social media sites need to take. The increase in deepfakes is not only related to the spread of false information but also to the "digital consent" of the performers themselves. Though most fans use artificial intelligence to create parodies, the risk of using it to cause harm is very high. It would be wise for the agencies to become the "digital bodyguards" of their clients. Final thoughts. With the continued development of AI, its methods of regulating its use must also evolve. The recent change made by YouTube reflects the company's dedication to "Social Responsibility" by placing an emphasis on the welfare of those individuals at the core of the entertainment sector. By ensuring that talent and their management can identify and remove any deepfake videos without consent, YouTube is contributing to a safer digital ecosystem.

ACLU launches national ad campaign featuring Bruce Springsteen's "born in the U.S.A." Highlighting landmark Birthright Citizenship Supreme Court case. The American Civil Liberties Union has launched a national ad campaign ahead of the organization's April 1 arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court on a landmark case challenging America's constitutional right to birthright citizenship. The campaign, which represents an uplifting visual tapestry of what it means to be an American, features Bruce Springsteen's iconic anthem "Born in the U.S.A." In a rare move, Springsteen authorized the ACLU's use of the song to highlight what's at stake in the Supreme Court case, Trump v. Barbara, and how the constitutional guarantee of birthright citizenship is integral to American values and the very fabric of its nation. "Bruce Springsteen's song 'Born in the U.S.A.' is an American anthem. It captures what birthright citizenship has made possible for generations: the simple, powerful guarantee that if you are born here, you belong here, if you're born in the USA, you're an American. Period," said Anthony D. Romero, executive director of the ACLU. "As the ACLU prepares to defend this bedrock principle in the highest court of the land, we are joined by millions of Americans who agree that the 14th Amendment of the Constitution - not President Trump - decides who is a citizen." Titled, "The Beat," the ad campaign was produced as a partnership between Stink, Creative Artists Agency, and the ACLU, and directed by award-winning filmmaker Anderson Wright. The campaign centers on a nationally distributed video airing across broadcast and digital platforms, including during quintessential American primetime programs such as MLB's opening game day, Survivor, The Voice finale, and more. The 30-second television spot will debut on March 23 in advance of the ACLU's oral arguments before the Supreme Court on April 1. A digital billboard will also appear outside Minneapolis' Target Center from March 30-31, coinciding with the launch of Springsteen's 2026 Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour in the city. Opening with the unmistakable drumbeat that gives the campaign its name, the video highlights everyday moments across the country - in classrooms, on job sites, at family gatherings, and at civic milestones. What begins as a solitary rhythm in an empty middle school band room builds into a cross-country portrait of people working, learning, celebrating, and contributing to their communities. The ad culminates with a visual of Americans from different generations and backgrounds closing with the message: "Protect Birthright Citizenship." Background on Trump v. Barbara On the first day of his second term, President Trump signed an executive order attempting to deny birthright citizenship for babies born in the United States to parents without permanent legal status. Within hours of the executive order being signed, the ACLU and its partners challenged the order in court, securing rulings that have prevented it from taking effect. Multiple courts have found the policy unconstitutional and inconsistent with longstanding Supreme Court precedent. The Supreme Court will now consider, in Trump v. Barbara, whether a president can unilaterally restrict the Constitution's guarantee of citizenship to children born on U.S. soil. On April 1, the court will hear oral arguments from the ACLU's National Legal Director Cecillia Wang who has spent more than 20 years at the ACLU and is herself a birthright citizen. Background on "Born in the U.S.A." Released in 1984, "Born in the U.S.A." debuted at a moment of national strain and reflection, telling the story of a Vietnam veteran returning home to economic hardship, neglect, and an America he no longer recognized. The song called on the nation to live up to its ideals. Decades later, as the Supreme Court considers whether to continue to guarantee citizenship at birth, the song resonates in a new constitutional context, drawing renewed attention to what it means, in law and lived experience, to be born in the United States. The 30-second cut of the ad can be found here. The full 60-second ad can be found here.
