"YouTube is just as wary of the rise of AI slop as you, and that's why more AI-generated content is coming to the platform in the near future. In a lengthy outlining YouTube's 2026 plans, CEO Neal Mohan said the company will continue to embrace this new "creative frontier" by soon allowing its creators to throw together Shorts using their AI-generated likeness."
"Mohan didn't elaborate further about how this feature will work when it launches, but acknowledged the "critical" issue of deepfakes currently polluting the web, and reaffirmed his company's support for new legislation such as the NO FAKES Act. YouTube also allows its own creators to protect themselves against unauthorized use of their likeness using a detection feature that scans newly uploaded videos for matches."
YouTube will soon let creators generate Shorts using AI-created versions of themselves. The company plans to embrace AI as a creative frontier while acknowledging deepfake risks and supporting legislation such as the NO FAKES Act. YouTube provides a detection feature that scans uploads for unauthorized likeness use. New AI features include a no-code game platform powered by Gemini 3 and music creation tools. The platform is enhancing systems to combat spam, clickbait, and low-quality AI content. An average of six million daily viewers watched over ten minutes of AI autodubbed content in December. Users can block short-form videos from search results.
