Pulled from the oven just right. Trustworthy, fact-dense, deeply satisfying.
Summary
YouTube is making AI-generated content labels more visible by moving them from the expanded description area to directly below the video player for horizontal videos, and prominently on Shorts. The platform is also introducing an automatic detection system that can label AI content without requiring uploader self-disclosure, using C2PA metadata to identify AI-generated material. This update aims to increase transparency around AI-generated content on the platform.

The video platform is also introducing an automatic detection system that can label videos even without the uploader's self-disclosure – for example, if the use of AI is evident from the C2PA metadata.
Previously, the AI notice appeared below the video in the expanded description area. In the future, for normal horizontal videos, it will appear directly below the player, making it visible without further scrolling.
