YouTube requires creators to now label videos that contain realistic AI alterations, such as fake voices or scenes, to combat deepfakes & promote transparency.
Youtube now requires videos featuring realistic alterations made with generative AI or other synthetic media to have labels.
Labels might include artificial voices, replaced faces, & significantly altered footage like cityscapes must be disclosed.
YouTube may penalise users who repeatedly fail to label their content as necessary.
Labels will first show up on mobile, then on desktop and eventually on the TV interfaces.
Search for information in the video descriptions that discusses any changes made to the content or any important additions.
For instance, videos that are related to news, elections, finance, and healthcare will have labels directly on the dedicated individual.
No labels are required for AI in scriptwriting, video ideas, or auto-captions, except in certain cases.
By labelling AI-generated content, YouTube aims to mitigate the spread of misinformation and fake videos on its platform.
