Story summary

Google launched AI “Ask YouTube” feature for YouTube Premium users in the United States, letting them ask questions and receive a text summary plus grouped videos after a loading screen.
In tests, an Apollo 11 query returned an overview and videos, while a conspiracy-theory query fell back to a normal list.
Google says it will extend “Ask YouTube” to non-Premium users and treats it as a long-term AI search tool.
