Quick Glance: WME partners with Loti to tackle celebrity deepfakes

WME is teaming up with Seattle-based Loti to prevent unauthorized digital use of images from WME clients, including deepfakes.

As the entertainment industry faces the growing threat of deepfakes, AI technology is being employed to safeguard celebrities and their brands.

Loti's collaboration with WME involves utilizing AI software to detect and remove unauthorized content online, providing a more systematic approach to combatting deepfakes.

Before adopting Loti's technology, WME had to tackle deepfakes in a more ad-hoc manner, but now they have a more efficient solution to keep their clients informed about unauthorized content circulating online.
