YouTube moves AI labels to video player

YouTube is moving its AI content disclosures from video descriptions to more prominent placements beneath the player and on Shorts overlays. Starting in May, the platform will use internal signals to automatically label photorealistic AI content that creators fail to disclose.

// ANALYSIS

While pulling disclosures out of the description is a necessary step for transparency, early previews show the new badges remain relatively small and easily missed.

  • Labels for photorealistic AI will appear directly below long-form videos and as persistent overlays on Shorts
  • Automated detection rolls out in May to catch undisclosed AI-generated content
  • Content created with YouTube's Veo or containing C2PA metadata will receive permanent, unremovable disclosures
  • YouTube confirms that applying an AI label does not negatively impact video recommendations or monetization
