YouTube on Wednesday announced artificial intelligence (AI) features for creators on its Shorts platform that tap into Google’s DeepMind video-generation model.
The features will allow creators to add AI-generated backgrounds to their videos as well as use written prompts to generate stand-alone, six-second video clips.
Speaking at a promotional event in Google’s Manhattan office in the United States, YouTube CEO Neal Mohan said that YouTube will integrate generative AI text and image output into an “Inspiration” feature for creators, which is intended to feed them suggestions and examples for video content.
Mohan said that 92% of YouTube creators already use AI tools.
AI-generated videos will be marked with SynthID to communicate to viewers that content was made with AI.
YouTube also introduced “Hype” feature to push channels below 500k subscribers.
With the help of the “Hype” function, subscribers of channels with less than 500 thousand followers will be able to “promote” favourite videos.
