# YouTube Will Now Spot AI-Generated Videos for You YouTube is taking over the job of flagging videos made with realistic AI technology, rather than waiting for creators to admit it themselves. The platform will automatically label these videos and make those labels easier to see, giving you a heads-up when what you're watching isn't entirely real footage.
YouTube will now automatically label videos that use significant photorealistic AI, instead of relying solely on creators to disclose AI-generated content themselves. It's also making AI labels more prominent.
