Today on Video Marketing Madness – YouTube AI Notification Requirements. Ray talks about the new information request from YouTube when uploading videos.

“Do any of the following describe your content?
Makes a real person appear to say or do something they didn’t say or do
Alters footage of a real event or place
Generates a realistic-looking scene that didn’t actually occur
Yes/ No
“To follow YouTube’s policy, you’re required to tell us if your content is altered or synthetic and seems real. This includes realistic sounds or visuals made with AI or other tools. Selecting “Yes” adds a label to your content. ”
