Google announced new AI features for YouTube Shorts during its I/O event on Tuesday. The updates include a Remix option that lets users change video style or insert themselves into existing clips while keeping the original context. The company also introduced Ask YouTube, which answers user questions by pulling relevant clips from existing videos.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai demonstrated the tool with an example of a parent learning how to teach a child to ride a bike.
YouTube will open its likeness detection tool to all users 18 and older. The tool was previously made available to Hollywood last month. A full rollout of the new features is scheduled for later this summer, with early access for Premium users.
Pichai stated that YouTube now has more than three billion users worldwide. The platform has positioned Shorts as a testing ground for AI-powered products. YouTube CEO Neal Mohan described the service as entering a new era focused on direct audience creation rather than traditional programming formulas.
