Loti AI, a leader in likeness protection technology, announced it has secured an additional investment from Khosla Ventures for its seed funding. This new funding brings the total capital raised to $6.65 million. FUSE and Bling Capital led the seed funding round, with participation from K5 Tokyo Black, Ensemble, and AlphaEdison.
Loti utilizes advanced AI to accurately detect and remove unauthorized content featuring clients’ likenesses online, including social media impersonations, deep fakes, voice simulations, leaks, etc. The company offers Loti Watchtower to surface, identify, and remove unauthorized content and Loti Enforce to eliminate unlicensed distribution based on contract terms. Loti has inked strategic partnerships with major talent agencies, such as WME and other major agencies, and works directly with the biggest celebrities in the world to secure their digital presence.
Unauthorized content and deep fakes have been growing in line with the rise of AI, posing serious risks to public figures’ brands and businesses. Loti’s recent data shows a 40% jump in detected deep fakes in the past month alone.
Loti provides unparalleled online protection to public figures, artists, athletes, creators, and executives. The company’s proprietary technology scans over 450 million digital assets daily across major social platforms (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, Pinterest, X), the public internet, and adult sites. And the company utilizes advanced AI to identify any unauthorized likeness and automatically remediate with a rules-based takedown engine. To date, Loti’s auto-takedown functionality has a 95% success rate within 17 hours.
Loti is focused on proactive protection and by integrating AI with a robust architectural foundation. And Loti can scale massively while maintaining exceptional accuracy.
Loti works continuously in the background to find, identify and take down unauthorized content as fast as possible – whether this is deepfaked, altered, or an unlicensed use. And this ensures ongoing protection for creators and brands in a rapidly evolving digital landscape, while also offering quick response times and comprehensive coverage worldwide.
