The use of AI is expanding rapidly, and AI-generated content is polluting online platforms, raising concerns about the issue on one of the popular video sharing platforms, YouTube. To combat the increase in AI-generated videos on the platform, YouTube is encouraging users to use new tools and guidelines that will help them identify and report AI-generated videos on the popular platform. The move further aims to prevent users from being misled by AI-generated videos and ensure greater transparency in content creation.
AI-centric guidelines for users
YouTube has introduced new AI-centric guidelines and updates to help users identify and report AI-generated videos. These updates make it easier for users to recognize when a video has been altered using AI tools and instantly report it to raise awareness for others.
Responsibility of YouTube content creators
Content creators will also have to disclose if they use AI tools to edit or modify their content. YouTube will also require creators to disclose the involvement of AI in their videos, further emphasizing the need for transparency.
The platform has also introduced user-owned versions of labels to mark AI-generated content, helping viewers identify such videos.
YouTube takes tough stance on AI content
AI-generated videos are believed to mislead viewers by transforming them into visuals of popular celebrities or creating deepfake videos, leading platforms to recognize labels that are insufficient to control the spread of such videos.
As such, the platform is committed to protecting the original content created by users on the platform and to immediately remove any synthetic videos that violate our community policies.
How to remove AI videos from YouTube?
User Reporting and Content Removal
YouTube users will have the right to report AI-generated videos they find misleading or inappropriate.
Content marked as parody or satire is exempt from these reports, further emphasizing the need for legitimate reports from real users, not bots.
Once a creator has been notified, the platform has 48 hours to address the issue, such as by editing or removing the video, to avoid further sanctions or penalties.
Strict adherence to policies
While these new rules and policies are a positive step towards protecting original content creators, YouTube's effectiveness depends on strict adherence to these terms, and the platform will go further to ensure that it does not give leeway to violators who undermine the purpose of these rules.
