Youtube vs. AI continues | Matt Connarton Unleashed

0:00 Some YouTube news. YouTube reveals this is from music ally dot com. YouTube reveals latest changes to its AI content label system. This is something that you know could affect musicians and anybody who's creating content on YouTube, like the show for example, we stream on YouTube, says here. YouTube has been labeling AI generated videos since twenty twenty four if the creator's disclosed their use of AI tools when uploading it. Now, the company has made some changes to its labeling system. First, the labels will now be simpler and more prominent, shown directly below the video player for long form videos and as an overlay within YouTube shorts.

0:41 The big change, though, is that YouTube is now using its own AI detection technology to spot videos that are AI generated. Oh good, but haven't been disclosed as such. I like this change, yeah, I mean yeah, it's I like this change. It makes sense. It does YouTube quote. If a creator does not specify whether or not they used AI, but our systems detect significant photorealistic AI use, we will now automatically apply labels unquote if the system falls flat, because this is something I always worry about people getting caught in the net who shouldn't be.

1:20 If the system false flags of video the creator will be able to update its disclosure status in the YouTube studio dashboard unless they used YouTube's own AI tools, or their video includes metadata showing that it is fully generative generative AI. YouTube's added in its announcement quote it's important to note that it is a disclosure label alone does not change how a video is recommended or whether it's eligible to earn money unquote. Yeah. So part of why that's important for content creators on YouTube is if you you know, if your content is monetized or monetizable, you know, if it's fully AI generated, they're not going to let you monetize it.

2:08 But there's a lot of things that you can't monetize on YouTube anyway.
