YouTube to remove AI-generated music and content that impersonates people،
YouTube is already full of AI-generated content, so the social enterprise is now trying to somewhat limit the amount of synthetic content produced by creators. Although all content posted on YouTube is subject to the company’s Community Guidelines, AI introduces new risks and requires new rules.
Today, YouTube announcement a series of updates that will be rolled out over the coming weeks, which will address various scenarios involving AI-generated content.
First, YouTube will require creators to disclose whether they have created edited or synthetic content that is realistic, including using AI tools. Those who repeatedly choose not to disclose this information may be subject to content removal, partner program suspension, or other sanctions, YouTube claims.
Meanwhile, viewers will be notified when the content they are watching is edited or synthesized through a new label that will be added to the description panel. Additionally, certain types of content on sensitive topics will have an even more visible label applied to the video player.
However, even if a video qualifies as synthetic, it can still be removed from YouTube if it violates the Community Guidelines.
Most importantly, YouTube announced that it will allow requests to remove AI-generated content or other synthetic or edited content that simulates an identifiable individual, including their face or voice.
According to YouTube, not all content will be removed, as the company will consider various factors when evaluating requests, including whether the content is a parody or satire, whether the person making the request can be positively identified unique or if it presents an audience. official or known person.
Finally, YouTube plans to introduce the ability for its music partners to request removal of AI-generated music content that imitates an artist’s unique singing or rapping voice.
These specific removal requests will only be available to labels or distributors that represent artists participating in YouTube’s first AI music experiments. However, YouTube plans to expand access to additional labels and distributors in the coming months.
