To combat this, we <a href="https://blog.youtube/inside-youtube/our-approach-to-responsible-ai-innovation/">created safeguards</a> regarding AI-generated content on our platform. We require creators to disclose whether the video they have uploaded contains any altered or synthetic content. We then add a label to the description panel indicating this alteration, providing important context for viewers. For altered or synthetic content about sensitive topics, such as elections, a more prominent label is applied directly to the video player. These labels are applied regardless of the creator, political viewpoints, or language.</p><p data-block-key="d5jlq">However, labeling alone may not be enough to mitigate the risk of harm. Some synthetic media, regardless of labeling, will be removed if it violates our Community Guidelines. These labeling efforts have been in effect for elections worldwide this year; for example, ahead of the European Parliamentary election in June, the altered or synthetic label was displayed more than 40 million times on videos across the EU. </p></div> </div> <div data-sticky-dest class="yt-article-paragraph-media__p-destination"></div> </div> </div> <div class="yt-article-paragraph-media__row--mobile-rel-articles"> </div> </section> <section class="js-yt-gtm-media-paragraph yt-article-paragraph-media yt-article-paragraph-media--paragraph yt-article-paragraph-media--sticky-left yt-article-paragraph-media__media-with-articles " data-media-type="paragraph" > <div class="yt-article-paragraph-media__row"> <div class="yt-article-paragraph-media__col yt-article-paragraph-media__media-container yt-article-paragraph-media__media-container--related_articles "> <div class="yt-article-paragraph-media__media-with-articles-wrapper"> <div class="yt-article-paragraph-media__row--desktop-rel-articles"> <div style="--primary-color: #6ea2ff;" class="yt-article-rel-article-paragraph__wrapper" data-analytics-module='{ "module_name": "Related article", "section_header": "More like this", "has_impression": true, "topic_tags": "policy" }' > <div class="yt-article-rel-article-paragraph__container"> <h2 class="yt-article-rel-article-paragraph__section-title">More like this</h2> <div class="yt-article-rel-article-paragraph__list"> <div class="yt-article-rel-article-paragraph__figure" data-analytics-module='{ "module_name": "Related article", "section_header": "More Like this", "topic_tags": "policy" }' > <a tabIndex="-1" aria-hidden="true" href="https://blog.youtube/news-and-events/2024-european-parliamentary-elections-on-youtube/" title="The 2024 EU Parliamentary elections on YouTube" data-use-custom-options data-analytics-click=' { "event": "trackEvent", "eventCategory": "module interaction", "eventAction": "related articles click", "eventLabel": "The 2024 EU Parliamentary elections on YouTube - https://blog.youtube/news-and-events/2024-european-parliamentary-elections-on-youtube/ - 1", "componentPosition": "left", "componentType": "related articles" }' data-ga4-analytics-click=' { "event": "related_articles_click", "article_name": "The 2024 EU Parliamentary elections on YouTube", "author_name": "The YouTube Team" }' > <div class="yt-article-rel-article-paragraph__image-wrapper"> <img src=" https://storage.googleapis.com/gweb-uniblog-publish-prod/images/12-23_Elections_1_1.width-1600..max-100x100.format-webp_7LhVMG6.webp " class="yt-article-rel-article-paragraph__media" loading="lazy" data-loading='{ "mobile": " https://storage.googleapis.com/gweb-uniblog-publish-prod/images/12-23_Elections_1_1.width-1600.m.width-1000.format-webp.webp ", "desktop": " https://storage.googleapis.com/gweb-uniblog-publish-prod/images/12-23_Elections_1_1.width-1600.m.width-1000.format-webp.webp " }' alt="" /> </div> </a> <a class="yt-article-rel-article-paragraph__link" href="https://blog.youtube/news-and-events/2024-european-parliamentary-elections-on-youtube/" title="News and Events, The 2024 EU Parliamentary elections on YouTube" data-use-custom-options data-analytics-click=' { "event": "trackEvent", "eventCategory": "module interaction", "eventAction": "related articles click", "eventLabel": "The 2024 EU Parliamentary elections on YouTube - https://blog.youtube/news-and-events/2024-european-parliamentary-elections-on-youtube/ - 1", "componentPosition": "left", "componentType": "related articles" }' data-ga4-analytics-click=' { "event": "related_articles_click", "article_name": "The 2024 EU Parliamentary elections on YouTube", "author_name": "The YouTube Team" }' > <span class="yt-article-rel-article-paragraph__title-eyebrow" aria-hidden="true">News and Events</span> <h3 class="yt-article-rel-article-paragraph__title" aria-hidden="true">The 2024 EU Parliamentary elections on YouTube</h3> </a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div data-sticky-dest class="yt-article-paragraph-media__media-destination"></div> </div> <div class="yt-article-paragraph-media__col yt-article-paragraph-media__p-container"> <div class="yt-article-paragraph-media__p js-yt-ga-paragraph-media yt-speakable" data-analytics-module='{ "module_name": "Paragraph with Media", "event": "inline_link_click", "section_header": "The lead up to the 2024 U.S. Election", "topic_tags": "policy" }'> <div class="rich-text"><h3 data-block-key="48ndc"><b><i>Limiting interference from foreign adversaries</i></b></h3><p data-block-key="d99n">We continue to work with Google’s Threat Analysis Group (TAG) to combat government-backed attacks.
