YouTube stops hiding its AI labels

Indicator: ‘YouTube announced it will make its AI labels more visible on content that is “photorealistic and meaningfully AI altered or generated.” [Work in Progress so be alert] Instead of burying labels in the description, the platform will now display them directly below or overlaid on the video (depending on the format). YouTube will also automatically label content where it detects “significant photorealistic AI use.” This brings the platform’s approach roughly in line with TikTok, but implementation is key. In April, we found that YouTube failed to label half of the videos generated with Google’s own AI generator, Veo.”
