YouTube is amping up its efforts in generative artificial intelligence, adding a “Dream Screen” and other AI tools for creators.
The Dream Screen offers a searchable well of AI solutions designed for YouTube’s burgeoning Shorts platform. At the tech company’s annual Made on YouTube event in New York, a live demonstration showed it coming up with mashups like a dragon flying over a photograph of the city or a dog appearing to drive a car, all fantastical short videos derived from entering terms into a custom search engine.
In a Q&A session after the event, executives downplayed the risks of unleashing the technology on a massive population of creators and users. AI more broadly and applications like ChatGPT have prompted concerns about everything from copyright violations to deepfakes. The technology has been a central issue in the ongoing negotiations between studios and streamers and striking members of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA.
Shorts has gained significant traction since its 2020 launch, topping 70 billion daily views each month from more than 2 billion signed-in users.
“Whether it’s generated through AI tools or whether it’s video uploaded to YouTube, it is subject to the our same community guidelines,” YouTube CEO Neal Mohan said during a Q&A at the end of the event. “The rules of the road that apply to video content on YouTube apply to everything that you saw today, whether it’s our policies around deepfakes or misinformation. … There might be challenges around technology like this. Our rules of the road apply, our enforcement rules apply. All of the technology we’ve been investing in for many years to make sure we live up to our responsibility as a global platform will apply here.”
In addition to Dream Screen,
