YouTube’s AI: The New Hero in Rescuing Stolen Channels
YouTube channels with large followings are like digital goldmines, attracting the attention of countless hackers who will stop at nothing to steal them. But how can these stolen channels be returned to their rightful owners? YouTube is now turning to artificial intelligence (AI) for the answer.
YouTube’s Plan to Combat Channel Theft with AI
As the subscriber count of YouTube channels rises, so does the revenue they generate. This financial allure makes these channels prime targets for hackers, leaving YouTube management constantly dealing with complaints about stolen channels.
In response to this growing issue, Google is deploying AI to combat channel theft. A new AI-powered assistant, specifically designed for YouTube, will now handle reports of stolen accounts.
Google recently announced this new feature on YouTube’s support page. Dubbed the “Hacked Channel Assistant,” the tool aims to help users resolve issues if their accounts are compromised. Users can access this feature through the YouTube Help Center.
How AI Helps You Reclaim Your Channel
The AI assistant will guide affected users through a series of questions designed to help them secure their Google login, undo any changes made by hackers, and protect their channels from future attacks.
Currently, this feature is available only in English and to a select group of users. However, Google has stated that they are working to make these tools accessible to all YouTube content creators worldwide.
