AI Video Watermark

A Chrome extension that adds highly visible watermarks to AI-generated YouTube videos for transparency and EU AI Act compliance. When AI video creators mark their content as "AI-generated," YouTube currently only adds a small "Altered or synthetic content" notice buried at the end of the video description (as of December 2024). Most viewers never check descriptions, making it easy to miss that a video is AI-generated—even when properly labeled by the creator. Why This Matters: In an age when AI-generated videos are nearly indistinguishable from reality, transparency about content origin should be mandatory and visible. Watching a documentary history channel that uses AI-generated images or clips without clear disclosure should not be acceptable. The EU AI Act will require clear labeling of AI content by August 2026. How It Works: This extension detects AI-generated content through multiple methods: Official YouTube labels (highest confidence) - Detects when creators mark content as "Altered or synthetic" Hashtag analysis (medium confidence) - Scans for AI-related hashtags like #Sora, #AIVideos, #OpenAI Title and description scanning (lower confidence) - Looks for AI-related keywords When AI content is detected, a prominent watermark appears on the video player—impossible to miss. Features: ✅ Highly visible watermarks (no more hidden labels) ✅ Multiple detection methods for accuracy ✅ Customizable position and size ✅ Click watermark for detection details ✅ EU AI Act compliant ✅ No data collection - complete privacy Perfect for: Viewers who want transparency about AI content Parents monitoring children's viewing Educators teaching media literacy Content creators ensuring compliance Anyone preparing for EU AI Act requirements
