YouTube allows users to remove AI content that imitates them

YouTube now allows users to remove AI content that imitates their face or voice. Takedown requests will be reviewed manually, and misleading videos will be removed.

Here's What We Know

The move is part of YouTube's expansion of its privacy request process to include AI-generated content. The platform will determine whether the content can be mistaken for the real thing and respond to user requests accordingly.

The platform is trying to respond to the threat posed by increasingly powerful AI video generation tools that can be used to manipulate viewers.

It's also worth noting that YouTube will consider whether content contains parody or satire if it involves famous people, and may make exceptions for high-profile individuals in the context of social commentary and freedom of speech.
