"Your YouTube Shorts feed might soon be filled with a lot more AI-generated content from your favorite creators - including AI-generated versions of the creators themselves. In his annual letter released today, YouTube CEO Neal Mohan says that sometime this year, creators will be able to make Shorts using their "own likeness." Mohan didn't share further details about these likenesses. "We'll have more to share soon, including the launch date and how the feature will work," according to YouTube spokesperson Boot Bullwinkle."
"But the likenesses are part of a growing push from YouTube into AI tools; this year, creators will also be able to use AI to make games with a text prompt (a feature already available in closed beta) and "experiment with music," Mohan says. YouTube already offers creators tools like an AI chatbot for channel analytics, AI-powered auto-dubbing, and AI-generated video clips for Shorts."
Creators will be able to make Shorts using their own likeness later this year, with launch date and operational details to be announced. The likeness capability is part of a broader expansion of AI tools, including AI-generated games from text prompts that are already in closed beta and features to experiment with music. Existing creator tools include an AI chatbot for channel analytics, AI-powered auto-dubbing, and AI-generated video clips for Shorts. YouTube is enhancing systems to combat spam, clickbait, and low-quality repetitive content. Shorts will integrate different formats, including image posts, directly into the feed, and Shorts average 200 billion daily views.
