A.I. nei tuoi video? Oggi devi autodichiararlo!

Summary

The video discusses YouTube's new mandatory disclosure feature, which requires creators to declare if their content has been altered using artificial intelligence. A new section in YouTube Studio prompts creators to answer if their content involves real people or scenes that have been altered or generated unrealistically. If yes, they must label their content as 'artificially altered.' The video clarifies what modifications need to be declared and which do not, such as minor enhancements or non-realistic animations. It also mentions that using AI tools for thumbnails, titles, or scripts does not require a disclosure. Creators are advised to be cautious with photo editing or satire involving public figures to avoid misleading viewers. Non-disclosure may lead to YouTube's corrective actions, including content removal or partnership suspension.
