As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of digital immersion under my belt, I can’t help but feel a tinge of both awe and apprehension as I navigate this ever-evolving digital landscape. The rapid advancements in generative artificial intelligence have undeniably brought about an array of exciting possibilities, yet the misuse of these tools is a concern that resonates deeply with me.
One consequence of the widespread use of generative AI tools is an increase in misuse, leading to instances where the images or personas of individuals such as actors, musicians, athletes, digital creators, and others are manipulated or replicated without their consent, often with questionable intentions
YouTube announced it’s working on creating new instruments to handle such issues, including AI-driven entities trying to steal their content
On Thursday morning, YouTube revealed two new tools designed to identify and control AI-created content that mimics users’ voices or appearances. The primary tool is a “synthetic voice detection technology” integrated into their current Content ID system. This technology will empower partners to automatically discover and manage AI-generated content on YouTube that imitates their singing voices
The company says that it is refining the tech, with a pilot program planned for early 2025.
The developing second tool aims to empower individuals across various professions, such as artists, performers, musicians, and athletes, by allowing them to identify and control AI-created content featuring their likenesses on YouTube. However, the company has not yet specified a timeline for its release
It’s unclear at first glance what creators can utilize the new tools for, but Content ID provides rightsholders with various choices such as taking it down, removing content that affects copyright, or sharing ad revenue
YouTube is increasingly embracing artificial intelligence (AI) by launching innovative tools such as Dream Screen and another one that employs AI to aid content creators in brainstorming video concepts. Furthermore, they are leveraging AI technology to detect and address any potential misuses
Additionally, the platform is facing a persistent request for training data from AI companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic. YouTube emphasizes that scraping its data goes against its terms of service, and it will actively resist attempts to do so. Yet, it acknowledges that some creators may hold different opinions on this matter. As a result, the platform is developing tools to empower creators with more control over how third parties utilize their data
“In our opinion, as technology advances, AI should serve to boost human creativity rather than supplant it. We are dedicated to collaborating with our associates to guarantee that future developments amplify their perspectives. Furthermore, we will persist in creating safeguards to address any concerns and work towards achieving our shared objectives.”
