YouTube AI search has been available for the last few months and it seems the company is ready for a wider rollout.
YouTube AI search is coming to more users, as long as they pay
YouTube’s AI-powered search feature is coming to more people who have signed for the Premium version. But you still need to be in one of the main YouTube markets to try out the tool. The platform tends to keep some of its experimental features limited to a select base and eventually bring it for a wider rollout or completely ditch the tool.
But in this case, we are seeing YouTube get new AI tools, and the Search option is moving to more people which can be only good in the larger scheme of things.
YouTube AI Search, Slowly Coming For More
You still need the Premium version of YouTube and only people in the US can get to try out the experimental feature. It is available for both iOS and Android users until August 20, and we might see the rollout get to more regions after that.
AI searches have gotten smarter and YouTube is definitely using Google’s dataset to make its own platform results and AI engine smarter. You can customise the AI search to get relevant details from videos and you can do that with the help of text prompts. It only works on the mobile app, but we do expect the web availability to happen in the next few months. We are eager to see if YouTube brings the feature to markets like India as well.
YouTube has played a big part in Google’s AI evolution in the last few months. A recent report by CNBC claimed YouTube videos have helped Google train its Veo 3 video AI model and it is being used with over 20 billion videos that the platform hosts from across users and creators.
Google has even confirmed these practices in the report, but claims it only uses a subset of videos and honours its terms and deals with creators and other communities.
Google’s Veo 3 AI model generates videos with ambient audio and background music. It is most likely taking help from YouTube’s video catalogue to deliver high-quality content but the company doesn’t say how many of the supposed 20 billion videos are being used to train the AI models.
