YouTube Introduces Advanced AI Features for Creating Shorter Videos, Enhancements for Video Makers
YouTube Introduces New AI Tools for Creators
YouTube has unveiled a suite of new AI tools for its Shorts and YouTube Studio platforms, aiming to empower creators with innovative features. The announcements were made at YouTube's creator-focused event, Made on YouTube, in New York.
The most notable addition is a feature that allows users to catch and request the removal of unauthorized videos made with their facial likeness. This feature, currently available as an open beta to all YouTube Partner Program creators, is designed to protect the rights of content creators.
Another exciting development is the ability for users to create short, vertical videos with sound from a news prompt. This feature can be accessed by tapping the "create" button and then the sparkle icon in the top right corner of Shorts.
YouTube is also bringing a custom version of Google DeepMind's video generation model Veo 3 to Shorts. This technology will enable users to generate videos automatically, adding a new level of creativity to the platform.
In a limited test, an auto-dubbing with lip sync feature is currently being trialled. YouTube plans to start experimenting with Veo capabilities that can add motion and objects to Shorts in the coming months.
The new tools also include a feature that lets people detect AI videos using their facial likeness. Additionally, the ability to add collaborators to a video and have it appear to all their audiences will be available worldwide.
YouTube CEO Neal Mohan stated that the AI tools are in service of human creation, emphasising the platform's commitment to empowering creators.
The functions "Edit with AI" and "Speech to Song" are currently being tested in select markets. "Speech to Song" is gradually rolling out to creators in the United States, with "Edit with AI" planned for expansion in the coming weeks. Broad availability is expected through the rest of 2025 and into early 2026.
Additional features for YouTube Shorts, including Edit with AI and Speech to Song, will be rolled out to more users in the coming weeks. A/B testing for titles and new updates to the Inspiration Tab will be available to most users by the end of the year.
Lastly, an AI-powered conversational chat tool, Ask Studio, will be available in the US only.
These new tools mark a significant step forward in YouTube's commitment to supporting creators and providing them with the tools they need to create engaging and innovative content.
