YouTube will automatically detect and label videos containing significant photorealistic AI-generated content using internal signals rather than voluntary creator disclosures. The rollout will begin gradually in May 2026. Labels will become more prominent: long-form labels will appear directly below the video player, and Shorts labels will appear as an overlay on the video. Previously, prominent labels were shown mainly when AI content involved sensitive topics such as health, news, elections, or finance, while other disclosures were placed in descriptions. Now every AI-labeled video will carry a visible marker regardless of topic. Creators can update disclosures if a video is incorrectly flagged, but labels will be permanent for videos made with YouTube’s own AI tools and for content marked as fully AI-generated via C2PA metadata.
"Previously, labels were only shown prominently when the AI content touched sensitive topics such as health, news, elections, or finance. All other disclosures were buried in the description. That distinction is going away. Every AI-labelled video will now carry a visible marker regardless of subject matter."
