根据 YouTube 团队 12 月 16 日的公告,该视频共享平台将允许创作者选择第三方公司是否可以使用其内容进行 AI 训练。该社交媒体平台进一步证实,新的更新是 YouTube 计划的一部分,该计划旨在让创作者更好地控制第三方公司如何使用其内容。
YouTube团队解释说,该平台的默认设置将关闭更新,这表明创作者不希望第三方公司使用他们的内容。该平台补充说,开启更新的决定将允许 YouTube 与选定的第三方公司分享符合条件的创作者视频。符合条件的创作者包括使用 YouTube Studio 和 YouTube Studio 内容管理器的创作者。
YouTube 的另一份声明强调,创作者可以从可以与之分享内容的公司列表中进行选择。据报道,上榜公司包括微软、Meta、亚马逊、Nvidia、苹果、AI21 Labs、OpenAI、Cohere、IBM、字节跳动等。 YouTude 补充说,如果创作者选择“所有第三方公司”,任何公司(包括非上市公司)都可能会利用其内容。
据报道,该平台选择了人工智能培训更新中列出的 18 家公司,因为它们在构建生成式人工智能模型方面取得了进展。据报道,他们还选择了最有潜力与创作者合作的公司。 YouTube 确认,其他希望与创作者合作的构建人工智能模型的公司可以申请该计划。
AI 视频公司 Viggle 的首席执行官承认他们在 YouTube 视频上进行训练。该公司试图收回这一说法,但在被告知此事已记录在案后承认了这一点。

The YouTube update comes after multiple users complained about big companies like Apple, OpenAI, and Nvidia using their videos to train AI without creators’ consent.
A reported interview this year with the CEO of Viggle Hang Chu revealed that the company had been using publicly available videos to train its AI model. Another interview with the OpenAI CTO Mira Murati in the Wall Street Journal revealed that the AI company used publicly available content to train the Sora AI model.
Google and YouTube have also been subject to similar accusations. Several users highlighted that the companies used their content without consent or compensation. The video-sharing platform assured users in September that it would address the issue.
The platform announced the launch of AI detection tools to protect all creators. Content ID is an identification program that will allow partners to detect and manage AI content on the platform that uses their voices. The second tool will allow different parties to identify content on YouTube that uses their faces.
The video streaming platform also promised to uphold its privacy terms, prohibiting the unauthorized access and use of creator content on the platform. The video-sharing service further assured users that it would continue investing in services that detect and prevent illegal access to creators’ content.
The YouTube team revealed in the recent update that the steps it is taking are a way to open up creators to the AI era. The video-sharing platform insisted that the update was a way of helping creators understand the value of their content in AI development. YouTube also assured that it would use its users’ feedback to expand features that enable more collaborations between creators and AI companies.
YouTube and Google have notably informed users of their use of creator content to improve products, services, and experiences on the platforms, including AI applications. The video-sharing platform insisted that it uses all content according to updated terms that creators agree to. An example of tools to improve user experience through AI includes the experimental Dream Screen for YouTube Shorts.
