YouTube has announced a system upgrade with the aim of protecting the works of artists and creators on the platform from the influx of AI-generated content that has been evolving from the original. They have enhanced the capabilities of the Content ID system to detect copyright infringements, including AI-modified sound patterns derived from the original source. Additionally, they can now identify instances where artist’s or actor’s faces are used in content creation. These new features will undergo testing in early next year.
YouTube also discusses plans to safeguard content on the platform from being used to train AI, emphasizing that utilizing YouTube video data to train AI violates the platform’s terms of service (YouTube’s CEO has addressed this issue before). At the same time, YouTube promises to introduce tools for creators to set preferences on how their content may be accessed for future data training purposes.
TLDR: YouTube is updating its system to protect artists and creators from AI-generated content and enhancing the Content ID system capabilities to detect copyright infringements and AI-modified sound patterns, with additional features for identifying the use of artists’ faces in content creation. They will also provide tools for creators to set preferences for accessing their content for data training purposes in the future.
