WithGoogleinvesting heavily in generative AI it was just a matter of time before it started adding AI features to YouTube, and last night itannouncedexactly that. The streaming service is testing some new experimental features, which will appear on the YouTube accounts of selected users.
Google says it’s a small experiment so it’s only going to reach a relatively limited number of people for the time being; it’s going to be tested with Premium members in the US first, so if you’re interested you can find out more at YouTube.com/new.
There are two key features here: Comment Topic Summaries and Conversational AI.
What do YouTube’s AI features do?
Conversational AI is another way of getting information, enabling you to ask straightforward questions and get straightforward answers. You’ll be able to ask for more information about the video, for recommendations of similar content, and if the video is an academic one you might even be offered a quiz or extra detail.
As ever with experimental features, these new tools are not ready for prime time yet: if you’re one of the people selected to be part of the experiment, expect weirdness, bugs and all the other joys of unfinished features. But it’s an interesting glimpse of how AI can deliver practical tools to make everyday sites that little bit more useful.
