In response to the growing use of AI technology in content creation, YouTube has implemented new regulations regarding the disclosure of AI-generated videos. These rules are designed to ensure transparency and prevent confusion among viewers.
According to information provided on YouTube’s official support page, creators are now required to indicate if their videos contain content that could be mistaken for real-life occurrences. This includes situations where generative AI or synthetic media have been utilized in the production process.
To clarify the use of AI, creators must disclose any instances where digital manipulation has occurred, such as altering faces, incorporating celebrities into scenes, or simulating audio. Additionally, effects like beauty filters and synthetic backdrops must also be disclosed.
The process of disclosing AI content has been integrated into the upload procedure on YouTube Studio. Creators will be prompted to answer disclosure questions in the Details section under Altered Content. This step ensures that viewers are informed about the nature of the content they are watching.
As a result of these changes, videos containing AI-generated content will be labeled as “Altered or synthetic content.” This labeling system will be visible to all viewers in the coming weeks, providing greater transparency regarding the origin of the content.
How will these new regulations impact the way we perceive and engage with online videos?
