YouTube's AI Push In Shorts Videos Could End The World Of Creators: Here's The Reason
Last Updated:
YouTube Shorts videos could soon get AI-powered support from Veo 3 which means you don't need a camera or a script to make videos.
YouTube is taking AI to disrupt its creator market by offering Shorts videos that can be created using basic text prompts. The video streaming platform intends to bring Google's Veo 3 AI model to the feature which makes shooting a video and creating a script redundant in a big way. The integration of Veo 3 into YouTube Shorts is expected later this year and the update was shared by YouTube CEO Neal Mohan at an event recently.
Like any other AI model launched this year, you can generate content by offering text prompts. Google is aiming to go AI-centric with most of its products but Shorts pivoting to AI could mean trouble for those who make a living because of the platform.
YouTube's AI Push For Shorts: Worrying Signs
Veo 3 AI model works with Google's paid AI plans so YouTube will need to unlock that aspect to allow people to use the feature. AI content has become a concern for privacy and deep fake experts and creating videos using text prompts could go haywire without adequate moderation in place.
The company is seeing over 200 billion views per day on Shorts, which translates into a hefty pay for the creators. Does using AI change that model for both the parties, certainly but YouTube will need to be smart with its plans and share them with the community to avoid facing heavy backlash. We have already seen AI models hallucinate content and companies face copyright cases for allegedly infringing content.
YouTube could also play into the hands of its rivals by tempting the creators to jump ship and consider TikTok and Instagram Reels as their next business avenue if the Shorts AI evolution goes ahead.

Tesla joins Austin's self-driving race with launch of Robotaxi service
Austin is known for live music, Texas' premier public university and being home to tech companies. It is also becoming a laboratory for autonomous vehicles. Driverless Waymo taxis, owned by Google's parent company, regularly drop off diners at Austin's famous barbecue joints. Box-shaped, four-wheeled robots operated by Avride, a start-up working with Uber Eats, deliver Thai takeout to customers downtown. Zoox, owned by Amazon, and Volkswagen are separately testing autonomous taxis here. Tesla, the electric car company based in Austin, recently joined the party, rolling out self-driving Model Ys ahead of a taxi service that is expected to begin offering rides as soon as Sunday. The vehicles, which the company calls Robotaxis, are part of an audacious effort by Elon Musk, Tesla's chief executive, to leap ahead of Waymo, which dominates a nascent business that someday could be worth tens of billions of dollars and perhaps much more. But the busy streets of Austin show that Tesla will face significant competition and other challenges. It will have to engage in painstaking experimentation to perfect its technology, which some autonomous-driving experts have criticised for having fewer safeguards than those operated by Waymo and other companies. Also, Tesla is starting from behind. Waymo has been driving paying passengers for years in Phoenix, San Francisco and Los Angeles, and started its commercial service in Austin in March in partnership with Uber. Waymo said on Wednesday that it was applying for a permit from New York City to offer rides with a person behind the wheel. A change in state law would be required for fully autonomous rides. A small fleet of Tesla Robotaxis will begin carrying passengers in Austin on June 22, Musk said on X last week but added the company may delay the start of the service. But analysts expect the cars will be available only to company employees or invited guests. The service will probably not be available to the general public for several months, analysts said. Tesla is adapting its most advanced driver assistance software, already offered as an option on the cars it sells, to operate without human intervention. If this approach works, the company could quickly roll out driverless taxis around the world. Musk has said a software update could allow hundreds of thousands or even millions of existing Teslas to operate as autonomous taxis, making cheap driverless rides ubiquitous. But the approach Tesla is taking is unusual. Waymo and other companies working to offer self-driving taxi services have been developing their technologies for years, painstakingly mapping streets and training their software to avoid hitting pedestrians, cyclists, garbage trucks, fire engines and all manner of other things found on public roads. 'FSD is an immature system,' said Matthew Wansley, a professor at Cardozo School of Law in New York, referring to what Tesla calls its Full Self-Driving (Supervised) software. Tesla did not respond to a request for comment. Another challenge for Tesla is that its self-driving system is under investigation by federal officials. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is looking into whether Tesla's technology was responsible for crashes in conditions where the road was obscured by fog, dust, bright light or darkness. One crash led to the death of a pedestrian.
