YouTube will now automatically label AI videos

TechCrunch
YouTube is introducing automated systems to detect and label photorealistic AI-generated content to increase transparency for viewers.

Summary

YouTube is shifting from creator-led disclosures to automated detection for AI-generated content. The platform will now use internal systems to identify and label “significant photorealistic AI,” ensuring these labels are more prominently displayed below the video player or as an overlay on YouTube Shorts. While creators must still disclose AI use, YouTube will intervene if they fail to do so. These labels will be mandatory for content created with YouTube’s own AI tools or containing C2PA metadata, though the platform notes that labeling will not affect video monetization or recommendations.
