YouTube Mandates Labeling for Realistic AI-Generated Videos

The new policy aims to enhance transparency and prevent viewer confusion over synthetic media.

YouTube introduces a new tool requiring creators to label realistic AI-generated content.
The label system aims at increasing transparency and preventing viewer confusion over synthetic media.
Exceptions include content that is clearly unrealistic or used AI for productivity purposes, like script generation.
Sensitive topics such as health, news, elections, and finance will feature more prominent labels.
Repeated failure to disclose AI-generated content may lead to penalties for creators.
