On Tuesday, YouTube unveiled a new batch of shorts and AI tools to be featured in YouTube studios. This includes expanding the ability to detect AI videos using Facial -icleness. Google-owned Tech Giant revealed the upgrade at a creator-centric event created on YouTube in New York.
“Today's announcement is based on our belief that AI should help human creation,” YouTube CEO Neal Mohan told Made on YouTube. “We're developing tools that create new ways to tell stories and how to discover them to our audience.”
YouTube now offers a custom version of Google Deepmind's video generation model Veo 3 in the shorts, allowing you to create short vertical videos using sound from a text prompt. You can try it by tapping the “Create” button and tapping the sparkle icon in the top right corner of the shorts, the company said. This feature is currently available in the US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

Additional features will be rolled out to more users in the coming weeks, including editing with AI to convert RAW footage into first draft video, and Speech to Song to turn conversations from eligible videos into soundtracks. YouTube said it will begin experimenting with the VEO feature that allows you to add motion and objects to your shorts in the coming months.
A new stack of YouTube studio features has also been announced, which will expand similar detection. This tool allows people to catch and request the removal of fraudulent videos made from facial caricatures. It is currently available as an open beta for all YouTube Partner Program Creators.
Other upgrades that will arrive at YouTube Studio in the coming weeks include AI-powered conversation chat tools, Ask Studio (US only), and the ability to add collaborators to your video and display them to all audiences (which will be dropped all over the world). According to YouTube, the new update tabs in the title A/B Test and Inspiration tab will be mostly available by the end of the year, and auto-dubbing with LIP Sync features will be limited testing.
