YouTube puts new A.I. policy in place

(CNN) — YouTube will soon require disclosures on videos that contain content generated by artificial intelligence because it could mislead viewers.

The google-owned platform already has a similar policy,  but the new update announced Tuesday will now require creators to add labels when they upload content that includes “manipulated or synthetic content that is realistic, including using A.I. tools.”

The policy is meant to help prevent users from being confused by synthetic content amid an increase in A.I.  tools that make it quick and easy to create compelling text, images, video, and audio that can often be hard to distinguish from the real thing.
