In his annual letter, YouTube CEO Neal Mohan teases tools that will let you make AI versions of yourself, generate games with a single prompt, and experiment with music.
YouTube is building a way for creators to make AI versions of themselves to feature in Shorts as it simultaneously pledges to clean up the AI slop proliferating on the platform.
The feature was announced today as part of YouTube CEO Neal Mohan’s annual letter, which calls the platform’s expansion of its AI tool the «new creative frontier.» Details are scant; Mohan said only that it launches this year and that “you’ll be able to create a Short using your own likeness.»
Last year, YouTube introduced AI likeness detection, allowing creators to automatically detect when their faces are used in AI-generated videos. The platform also labels all videos that include AI-generated elements made through its own tools, and creators are obligated to disclose when a video includes what it calls «realistic» altered footage.
