In brief
YouTube is moving AI disclosure labels into more visible positions on Shorts and long-form videos.
The platform will automatically apply labels to some AI-generated videos even if creators fail to disclose AI use.
The changes arrive as Google expands Gemini Omni-powered editing and remix features across YouTube Shorts.
YouTube is expanding its AI disclosure system as the platform rolls out more AI-powered video editing and remixing tools for creators and viewers alike.In a blog post on Wednesday, YouTube said it will make labels for AI-generated or “meaningfully altered” videos more prominent. Under the updated system, labels on long-form videos will appear directly below the player, while labels on Shorts will appear as overlays on the video itself.“By moving these labels on to the main stage, viewers get the context they need at a glance,” YouTube wrote. “This is now the single label format for all photorealistic and meaningfully AI altered or generated content on YouTube.”
