YouTube tests generative AI feature

Google announced that it is testing two generative AI features to improve the YouTube viewing experience.

For videos with a lot of comments, YouTube will use artificial intelligence (AI) to sort them by topic to facilitate conversations.

Google indicates that content authors can use these comment summaries to engage in discussion or gain inspiration for new content.

Summary of comments using AI

Artificial intelligence tested to improve YouTube viewing quality.

Topics are taken from posted comments, do not use comments that are being moderated or include banned keywords.

New experience for Premium users

YouTube also uses conversational AI tools to provide answers to questions about the videos users are watching.

Conversational AI is available to a small number of users for a subset of videos.

YouTube Premium users can choose to try out the new feature as the plan includes access to experimental features.

Google emphasizes that AI features are experimental and may not always be correct.
