Although the "YouTube" platform does not completely ban videos created using artificial intelligence, it has more precisely explained what types of content may lose the right to generate revenue.
Modern.az reports that in the "Inside YouTube" podcast published on July 16, Matt Halprin stated that the platform distinguishes between authors who use artificial intelligence as a creative tool and channels that produce mass-replicated content through AI. Thus, three types of content may not be considered eligible for the channel's monetization program. The first category includes almost identical and repetitive videos. For example, AI stories where only character names, locations, or images are changed, slideshows presenting the same information in different formats, text videos, animations, or repetitive instructional videos are included in this group.
The company emphasizes that authors are not required to create a completely new format every time. The main condition is that each video provides the viewer with new information, a different explanation, a new story, or added value. Simply re-sharing previous content with minor changes is not considered sufficient. The second category includes content that YouTube calls "unsatisfactory or disturbing." These types of videos primarily try to attract the viewer's attention by using scary images, shocking footage and headlines, or emotional manipulation, but in reality, they do not provide serious information or content. With this, YouTube aims to prevent the spread of low-quality, repetitive, and AI content designed only to gather views on the platform. The company states that artificial intelligence can be used as a tool to facilitate the work of creators, but the production of mass content that does not provide real value to the viewer will not be considered suitable for monetization.
