before. It’s empowering creativity, sparking new ideas, and even transforming industries. At this critical inflection point, it’s clear that we need to boldly embrace this technology with a continued commitment to responsibility. With that in mind, over the past few months I’ve spent time talking with AI experts working across YouTube as well as leaders in one of the most influential and creative forces in the world: the music industry.</p><p data-block-key="6eotb">For nearly our entire history, YouTube and music have been inextricably linked. As a hosting platform, YouTube connected fans worldwide and quickly became home for iconic music videos and breakout artists. Our deep partnership with the music industry has enabled us to innovate and evolve together — building products, features and experiences, from our YouTube Music and Premium subscription services, to global livestreaming capabilities, that spur originality and bring communities of fans even closer together. And core to our shared success has been the protection of these creative works and copyrights of artists.</p><p data-block-key="7efdd">Now, we’re working closely with our music partners, including Universal Music Group, to develop an AI framework to help us work toward our common goals. These three fundamental AI principles serve to enhance music’s unique creative expression while also protecting music artists and the integrity of their work.</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--quote_paragraph yt-article-paragraph-media--sticky-left " data-media-type="quote_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--quote"> <div class="yt-article-paragraph-media__row--desktop-rel-articles"> </div> <div class="yt-article-paragraph-media__media-wrapper yt-article-paragraph-media__media-wrapper--video-no-img "> <div class="yt-article-paragraph-media__quote-wrapper yt-article-paragraph-media__quote-wrapper--color-default yt-speakable " style="--quote-color: #caf8ff;"> <p class="yt-article-paragraph-media__quote yt-article-paragraph-media__quote--muted"> In 2023 alone, there have been more than 1.7 billion views of videos related to generative AI tools on YouTube. </p> </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": "Our principles for partnering with the music industry on AI technology", "topic_tags": "executives" }'> <div class="rich-text"><h2 data-block-key="mlvou"><b>Principle #1: AI is here, and we will embrace it responsibly together with our music partners.</b></h2><p data-block-key="798pg">Advancements in generative AI are no longer a future promise.

One example is our <a href="https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/10834785?hl=en">policies</a> prohibiting certain technically manipulated content. That means on YouTube, you can’t upload a video that’s been technically manipulated to promote false claims or mislead viewers about an atrocity in a way that could lead to serious risk of harm. And we will continue to iterate and evolve to meet new challenges.</p><p data-block-key="2h1qg">But now, the limitless potential of generative AI demands a thoughtful approach that maps to the expansive boundaries of creative expression. Generative AI systems may amplify current challenges like trademark and copyright abuse, misinformation, spam, and more. But AI can also be used to identify this sort of content, and we’ll continue to invest in the AI-powered technology that helps us protect our community of viewers, creators, artists and songwriters – from Content ID, to policies and detection and enforcement systems that keep our platform safe behind the scenes.
