YouTube is putting AI labels where you’ll actually see them

The Verge
YouTube is moving AI disclosure labels to more prominent locations and introducing automated detection for AI-generated content.

Summary

YouTube is updating its AI labeling system to increase transparency by moving disclosures for long-form videos and Shorts to more visible areas. Previously hidden in descriptions, labels will now appear directly below the video player for long-form content and as an overlay on Shorts. Additionally, YouTube is implementing new automated systems to detect photorealistic AI-generated content, meaning labels will be applied even if creators fail to disclose them manually. These changes aim to provide viewers with clearer context without affecting monetization or video recommendations.
