A lot of AI-generated videos look realistic and can often be misleading. With labels appearing more prominently, the platform seeks to help users identify realistic videos that are actually generated with AI software.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_w\">\n<p>Videos that are clearly unrealistic or only slightly modified using AI will continue to display AI disclosures in their descriptions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_w\">\n<p>The second big change is targeted at creators. Until now, YouTube has relied on creators manually revealing content created with AI. Now, the platform will also start identifying AI content automatically.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_w\">\n<p>If a creator uploads AI content to the platform but does not manually reveal it, YouTube will attempt to recognize it and automatically apply the AI \u200b\u200blabel to the video.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_w\">\n<p>The company also clarified that the creators will still remain in control. If the new system incorrectly flags a video as AI generated, the creator will be able to update the video&#8217;s disclosure status in YouTube Studio and remove the label.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_w\">\n<p>This will not apply to videos created using Google Veo, Dream Screen, or content with C2PA metadata that fully identifies it as Generative AI.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_w\">\n<p>YouTube&#8217;s new labels and automatic AI detection are already available and should be available to all users soon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-container-type=\"content\">\n<div class=\"e_Xd e_w\">\n<p>Thank you for being a part of our community.
