YouTube, the world’s largest video-sharing platform, is set to add a suite of YouTube to Introduce AI-powered tools for video creators, according to the company’s new CEO.
In an announcement earlier this week, Neal Mohan, the new CEO revealed that the Google-owned platform would introduce a range of features to make it easier for creators to produce engaging, high-quality videos.
“Creators are the lifeblood of YouTube, and we’re always looking for ways to help them create more compelling content,” Neal Mohan said. “That’s why we’re excited to announce that we’re introducing a range of AI-powered tools that will make it easier than ever for creators to produce great videos.”
According to Neal Mohan, the new tools will help video creators in various ways, from improving the quality of their footage to making it easier to edit and share their content.
For example, one of the new tools will use machine learning algorithms to enhance the lighting and color balance of videos, resulting in more professional-looking footage. Another tool will use natural language processing (NLP) technology to automatically generate captions and subtitles for videos, making them more accessible to viewers who are deaf or hard of hearing.
In addition to these features, YouTube will introduce new AI powered video editing tools allowing creators to cut, splice, and re-order footage easily. These tools will be handy for creators new to video editing or needing access to professional editing software.
“We know that not all creators have access to expensive editing tools or the skills needed to use them,” Neal Mohan said. “That’s why we’re introducing these new editing features, which will make it easier than ever for anyone to create great videos.”
The new tools are just the latest in a series of AI-powered features YouTube has introduced over the past few years. In 2018, the platform introduced an automated system for catching and taking off unsuitable content. In 2020, it launched a range of features to improve the user experience, including personalized video recommendations and improved search functionality.

While the new tools are likely to be welcomed by many creators, some have expressed concerns about the impact that AI-powered editing tools could have on the creative process. Some worry that the tools could lead to a homogenization of content, with creators relying too heavily on AI-generated effects and filters.
Neal, however, has sought to reassure creators that the new tools are designed to complement, rather than replace, the creative process.
“These tools are there to help creators bring their vision to life, not to replace their creativity,” he said. “We want to empower creators to make the best possible content, and we believe these tools will do just that.”
The new AI-powered tools are set to roll out in the coming months and are likely to be welcomed by the platform’s vast community of content creators. With over 2 billion active users and over 500 hours of video uploaded every minute, YouTube remains one of the most popular and influential platforms on the internet. These new tools will help cement its position as the go-to destination for video content.
