YouTube to introduce clearer labels for AI-generated content

JAKARTA (ANTARA) - YouTube has announced increased transparency in labelling content created using artificial intelligence (AI). According to GSM Arena’s report on 27 May, all videos significantly altered or generated using AI on YouTube will display a prominent AI label. Long-form videos will show the label below the player and above the description, while short-form videos will display it as an overlay. The platform also now has an AI content detection system that analyses and flags AI-generated content even without manual tagging. If a video is misidentified as AI-generated, creators can update its status via YouTube Studio. Labels will remain for content created using YouTube’s AI tools such as Veo or Dream Screen, or containing C2PA metadata. YouTube stated the disclosure labels do not affect video recommendations or monetisation, but solely enhance transparency.
