In addition, any YouTube user can request the removal of AI-generated or altered content that simulates an identifiable individual, including deepfakes. However, not all flagged content will be removed, allowing for parody or satire. The company will also consider whether the person requesting the removal can be uniquely identified or if the video features a public official or other well-known individual. YouTube is also introducing a new tool that will allow music partners to request the removal of AI-generated music that mimics an artist's voice.
