YouTube’s non-solution for AI podcasts

Nov 15, 2023 - theverge.com
YouTube has introduced new AI rules that will impact podcast creators. The rules require podcasts using AI-generated content to label their videos accordingly. However, the rules are considered to be vague and may lead to inconsistent enforcement. The rules are stricter for music content, with no exceptions, due to YouTube's need to keep music labels satisfied. In other news, former late-night hosts are increasingly turning to podcasting. Daniel Tosh, previously of Tosh.0, has a new podcast with iHeartMedia, and others like Trevor Noah and James Corden have also moved to audio platforms.

The article also highlights podcasts covering the Israel-Hamas conflict, with recommendations from the Hot Pod audience. These include "The Ezra Klein Show," "Israel Story," "On the Nose," "Unsettled," and "Unholy: Two Jews on the News." The author encourages more recommendations, particularly those produced from a Palestinian perspective.

Key takeaways:

  • YouTube has released new terms for AI-generated content on its platform, creating a two-tier system with strict rules for music and looser standards for other content, including podcasts. Podcasts using AI-generated content must label their videos as such.
  • The new guidelines, which will be implemented next year, are being issued in the absence of any legal framework for AI-generated content. The effectiveness of these rules is limited and could lead to inconsistent enforcement decisions.
  • Another trend is late-night hosts turning to podcasting. Daniel Tosh, former host of Tosh.0, has a new podcast deal with iHeartMedia. This follows Trevor Noah and James Corden who have also left their late-night shows for podcasting.
  • The article also provides recommendations for podcasts covering the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, including "The Ezra Klein Show", "Israel Story", "On the Nose", "Unsettled", and "Unholy: Two Jews on the News".
