While watching YouTube, you might find information about how content was made. This information, found in the video player or description, can offer insight into the content's origin and whether it has been meaningfully altered. The "How this content was made" section in the expanded video description provides further details.
Disclosure types
‘Made with AI’: This indicates that a video contains content that has been meaningfully altered or synthetically generated with Gen AI tools. There are several ways that this information ends up in the ‘How this content was made’ section of the expanded description of a video.
You should expect to see this disclosure when:
- The creator manually discloses the use of 'AI content' in the YouTube Studio workflow. When content is undisclosed, in some cases, YouTube may take action to reduce the risk of harm to viewers by proactively applying a label. Learn more about "Disclosing use of GenAI content." Additionally, music partners can read the following article to learn how to Disclose Gen AI usage for music content.
- The creator uses YouTube’s generative AI tools (e.g., DreamScreen).
- The content contains valid Content Credentials data indicating the entire video is made with AI. Learn more about Content Credentials (C2PA).
YouTube will carry forward disclosures from tools and creators available with secure Content Credentials (C2PA) 2.1 or higher that indicate the entire video was made with AI. This may include a label on the video player itself, or language in the detailed description.
Understanding ‘Info from’ attributions on YouTube
Content Credential (C2PA) disclosures often include an attribution to the signing authority, which indicates the source that validated the information within the secure Content Credentials. When this is the case, you will see an ‘Info from’ attribution beneath the disclosure.
