YouTube has introduced a new AI search feature, currently available to Premium members in the U.S., to help users find content by showing suggested video clips and AI-written summaries at the top of search results. While this feature enhances user experience by allowing quick access to information without clicking through videos, it poses a risk to content creators who depend on view counts and watch time for revenue generation. Similar to Google's AI overviews affecting news publishers negatively, this tool could drastically change how users interact with and consume content on YouTube.
The new AI search feature from YouTube aims to help users discover content more quickly, offering summaries that may reduce the number of video clicks.
While beneficial for users seeking quick information, this feature raises concerns for content creators, who rely on viewer engagement to monetize their videos.
