YouTube Introduced an AI Detection Tool to disclose details when it uses altered or synthetic media (such as AI videos) in its content. The New YouTube AI Detector will soon effectively Regulate AI-generated content and remove violated content from its platform. Let’s Discuss it.
YouTube has launched a new tool called Creator Studio, which aims to promote transparency and trust between creators and audiences on the platform. This tool requires creators to disclose details when they use altered or synthetic media (such as AI videos) in their content. The aim is to ensure audiences can quickly identify with real people, places, or events.
The tool will require creators to add a label to their video when they use a natural person’s likeness but digitally transform it with AI, change actual events or places in the video, or create realistic scenarios for fictional events. However, this label is unnecessary if creators use AI for minor changes, such as generating scripts or captions.
These labels will be available on all YouTube video surfaces and formats and will gradually be implemented across all platforms. YouTube plans to give creators some time to adjust, but early disclosure measures will be implemented in the future. If creators consistently fail to disclose label information, YouTube can add the label.
Along with this tool, YouTube is also working on an updated privacy process that will allow people to request the removal of AI generated or other synthetic content that mimics an identifiable person, including their face or voice. YouTube plans to roll out the tool initially on the YouTube app, followed by desktop and TV.
