👀 Eyes on the 'camera'

October 25, 2024

In today’s update 👀 :

  • YouTube introduces ‘captured with a camera‘ label

  • NYT sends Perplexity ‘cease and desist‘ order

  • Software corrects eye contact in videos

Youtube is in the process of rolling out a new label to confirm the authenticity of videos. The label “captured with a camera“ is YouTube’s attempt at discerning content that was created using generative AI. Content creators will have to ensure that their devices and their editing process is compliant with the C2PA standard. Any of the following points below could result in not getting the “captured with a camera” label:

  • Videos will have to be recorded on devices that support C2PA v2.1 or higher

  • Significant alterations to the visuals or audio of the video

  • Saving and or storing the recording in a non-compliant folder.

This label shows that there is still a negative bias towards content creation using AI tools. It feels like there is another label missing label called “co-created with AI“ 🤝 .

🧑‍⚖️ Perplixity In Trouble With NYT

The New York Times (NYT) has send perplexity a cease and desist notice. The news publisher is demanding perplexity to stop using it’s content for Generative AI purposes. The AI startup is being accused of using the content and information shared on NYT’s website to create summaries for users and other types of AI generated output. This is not the first time that Perplexity has been warned and it assured the NYT that it would stop using crawling technology, but the news publisher has said that it’s content is still appearing in the AI-engine.

There is an ongoing battle of information going on between traditional news publishers and chatbots that are crawling the internet and extracting data from their website to then train the AI models or use it as output without clear references to the news publishers.

If you’re looking back at a video recording and annoyed by the fact that you’re not properly looking into the camera, then look no further. With Sieve’s Eye Contact Correction API you will be able to correct the eye contact on video’s. The pricing is $0.10 per minute and if you are working in a space where eye contact with the camera is key e.g. course creation, then this is definitely worth trying out!
