Story summary
- YouTube announced on June 2 2026 that an “AI” label will appear below standard videos.
- Shorts will show the AI label as a bottom-overlay on the video.
- Starting this month, YouTube will scan photorealistic AI content and add the label using C2PA provenance data and SynthID watermark.
- Only photorealistic or meaningfully AI-altered videos receive the label, with other AI clips keeping the hidden label and the tags not affecting recommendations or monetization.
