Summary
TikTok is testing an opt-in tool that detects AI-generated copies of creators (deepfakes, or AI-altered versions of real people) and allows creators to report them to the company. The tool is currently available to some US creators who verify their identity through Jumio, a third-party identity verification service, using a selfie scan and ID check.
