You can now request YouTube to take down AI generated videos that simulates your voice or face

YouTube almost clandestinely brought a policy change in June that will allow its users to request removal of AI generated videos that simulates their voice or face. However, the streaming platform won’t remove the video just because someone has complained or the video has been created by using the AI tool. It will objectively look into all the important factors. For instance, if the content has been labelled as being ‘synthetic’ then it will verify if it uniquely identifies the person and whether the content could be identified as satire, parody or holds value for the society. YouTube will also particularly look into AI generated videos featuring celebrities or public figure and whether they have been shown in a sensitive behavior like ‘criminal activities or any act of violence.

Whether the concern photo has only partially used the AI tool (implying the use of AI editing tool) or the image is 100% generated by use AI tools. This new transparent rule takes into consideration the concerns of photographers who were clearly unhappy with earlier label as it labelled even the AI edited photos as 100% AI images.
