Meta Video Seal

Meta has come up with a handy tool called ''Meta Video Seal'' to tackle the problem of deepfakes. Deepfakes are videos made by AI that can be used for bad things like pretending to be someone else or tricking people. With more deepfakes popping up, we need a way to track and check if videos are real.

Meta Video Seal works by putting hidden watermarks in AI made videos. These watermarks are strong and stay even if the video is changed, like if it is blurred, cropped, or squeezed. The tool can also add secret messages to videos, which can be seen later to find out where the video came from. This process is quick and easy to use with other software.

Meta Video Seal has clear benefits. It helps stop false information by telling real videos from fake ones. For people who make videos, it protects their work from being used without permission. By checking if videos are real, Meta Video Seal helps build trust online, which has been hurt by false information and deepfakes.

Meta Video Seal can be used in many ways. News teams can use it to check if videos are real before sharing them. Social media sites can use it to stop fake videos from spreading. People who make content can protect their work from being used without asking.

Meta is putting money into this technology for the future. They are starting a public leaderboard called Meta Omni Seal Bench to compare different watermarking methods. They are also planning workshops at the ICLR AI meeting to get more people to use and work together on watermarking technologies.

People who use Meta Video Seal like it because it is effective and easy to use. Many have said it helps them check if videos are real, so they do not fall for deepfakes.
