YouTube is rolling out automated AI detection for its platform, aiming to clarify when generative content appears. The company will now flag videos using realistic AI tools, especially if they detect significant photorealistic manipulation. This update reflects growing user demand for transparency, allowing viewers to see immediately if a clip was made with AI.

By making these labels more visible, YouTube hopes to build trust while still giving creators control over how their content is disclosed. The changes are part of a broader effort to manage AI content effectively across its ecosystem.
