·4 min

The episode begins with a brief introduction to the day's AI news headlines, including YouTube likeness detection, Google's Ask Photos toggle, Superhuman disabling expert review, and an AI agent compromising Lilli. It then delves into YouTube's new likeness detection tool, which is designed to help creators, politicians, and journalists identify deepfakes by matching faces to known public figures and flagging similarities. Early tests involved select partner creators, and politicians and journalists can now apply to join the test phase after identity verification. Reported deepfakes are reviewed and removed if they violate rules against deceptive impersonation, while satire and parody remain allowed. YouTube supports the No Fakes Act. The discussion shifts to Germany, where Justice Minister Stephanie Hübig aims to tighten criminal law for pornographic deepfakes, with a draft expected by spring. The Digital Services Act requires labeling, and victims can seek remedies under personality rights or the Burgerlish's Gazette's book. Next, the episode covers Google's update to Google Photos, where users will be able to switch off the AI-powered Ask Photos search and revert to classic search with a simple toggle. Ask Photos with Gemini launched in 2024 as an experimental natural language image search, but users complained it often failed to find pictures or returned less relevant results. Previously, disabling Gemini was possible but hidden in settings. Shimrit Ben-Yair announced on X that a visible on-off switch will arrive in response to calls for more control over search. The episode is sponsored by Pickard, which offers intelligent automation for operations. The format is a concise, news-style briefing, presenting multiple stories in a neutral tone without deep technical details.
