Starting in May 2026, the Google-owned platform will display these markers directly under the video player instead of burying them in the description. For vertical videos on Shorts, the AI label will appear as an overlay at the bottom. The company plans to address 1 major issue: the flood of low-quality generated content that has recently spread across these short-form formats. Starting this month, YouTube will automatically scan uploads for photorealistic AI content. The scanning process will utilize 2 key technologies to identify generated files, including the C2PA standard and Google’s SynthID watermarking. The new labels will not affect how a video is recommended or whether it is eligible to earn money. Creator control and transparency are balanced to ensure that monetization policies remain unchanged for uploaders.
