YouTube to Crack Down on AI-Generated Content - YouTube will update its monetization policies on July 15 to address inauthentic and repetitive content, mainly driven by AI-generated media. This effort aims to protect YouTube's reputation by preventing creators from earning money through low-quality or mass-produced videos.
The new guidelines clarify what constitutes inauthentic content, assuring that traditional content like reaction videos remains unaffected. This change responds to rising instances of AI-generated videos misleading or spamming viewers, highlighting the need for clear content policies.
