YouTube Says It Will Add More Visible AI Disclosure Labels and Automatically Label Some Undisclosed AI Content

The platform will scan for photorealistic AI videos and add more visible labels without changing recommendations or monetization, the company said.

  • On Wednesday, the YouTube Team announced that AI-generated content labels will move to more prominent positions, appearing below the video player for traditional videos and as overlays on Shorts.
  • The YouTube CEO is escalating efforts to curb 'AI slop' and deepfakes by automatically applying labels to videos where creators fail to disclose significant photorealistic AI usage.
  • New internal signals alongside C2PA and SynthID watermarking help identify content, though creators can correct mislabeled videos directly within YouTube Studio if needed.
  • Although labels increase transparency, disclosures for 'unrealistic, animated, or slightly altered' content remain in expanded descriptions, and the changes won't affect video recommendations or monetization eligibility.
  • This update reflects broader efforts to identify AI-generated media as generative tools become common, with supporters viewing the policy as helping parents identify content children watch online.
