flag YouTube now lets politicians and journalists report AI-generated videos of themselves using a new verification tool.

flag YouTube has expanded its free deepfake detection tool to politicians, journalists, and government officials, allowing them to identify and request removal of AI-generated videos that mimic their likeness. flag The tool, available through YouTube Studio, requires users to verify identity with a video and government ID, using the data solely for detection and not for AI training. flag It alerts users to potential deepfakes, enabling takedown requests, though removal is not guaranteed due to protections for parody and free expression. flag The feature, launched in October 2025, is part of broader efforts to combat AI-driven misinformation ahead of elections, amid growing concerns over synthetic media and trust online. flag YouTube plans to expand access in the coming year.
