What’s New: The AI Tools on YouTube’s Horizon
At the Made on YouTube 2025 event, YouTube introduced a suite of AI features designed to assist creators at every stage—from concept to post. Key offerings include:
-
Veo 3 Fast for Shorts: An AI model developed with Google DeepMind that lets creators generate video clips (with sound), backgrounds, stylization, and props directly inside Shorts.
-
Edit with AI: Transforms raw capture (video/photo assets) into polished “first draft” videos—arranging best moments, adding music, transitions, and even voiceovers in some cases.
-
Speech-to-Song: Converts spoken dialogue in videos into music or soundtracks, allowing creators to remix natural speech into meme-worthy, catchy audio.
-
Auto-Dubbing and Lip-Sync Enhancements: More natural dubbing (translation + voice sync) to help creators reach global audiences.
-
Ask Studio: A conversational AI assistant inside YouTube Studio to help creators with strategy—suggesting ideas, helping with analytics and optimization, growth insights.
-
Likeness Detection Expansion: Tools to detect when AI-generated content uses a creator’s facial likeness, allowing them to manage or request removal of such content.
-
Live, Podcasts & Shorts Cross-Features: Redesigned features for live streaming, podcast creators, conversion of podcast episodes to Shorts, easier clip generation, and more.
