YouTube to Introduce AI-Powered Summaries in Search Results
YouTube is gearing up to roll out AI-powered summaries within its search results. Currently being tested with a limited group of YouTube Premium subscribers, this feature aims to highlight the most pertinent sections of videos.
Following the introduction of its “AI Overview” feature in the main search engine, Google has now begun testing a similar functionality for YouTube. Select Premium users are currently encountering AI-generated video summaries in their search results.
AI Summaries Initially Exclusive to Premium Users
These AI summaries are designed to pinpoint the most valuable parts of videos, particularly for product reviews or travel-related content. This will allow users to quickly find the information they seek without needing to watch entire videos. However, this development raises concerns among content creators about potential declines in their earnings. YouTube plans to initially gather feedback on this new feature exclusively from its Premium users.
Google has yet to announce the duration of this testing phase or when AI-powered summaries might become available to non-Premium users. Nevertheless, it is widely anticipated that this new feature will reach a broader audience in the near future.
