TikTok tests AI likeness detection anchored on Jumio biometric ID checks

TikTok is testing an opt-in tool that scans for AI-generated likenesses of enrolled US creators. Before scanning, creators verify identity through Jumio — a real-time selfie plus ID check. TikTok says it keeps no ID documents; facial data is used only for likeness matching. This ties detection to a confirmed identity rather than strippable metadata like watermarks.
