YouTube's New AI Features: Chatbot, Comment Summaries, and More

YouTube is testing a new chatbot feature that provides information, answers questions, and recommends related content for select videos. The AI tool is part of Google's broader push to integrate AI across its services. YouTube is also experimenting with an AI-powered comment categorization feature to organize comments into topics. Both features are currently available as limited experiments and are accessible to Premium subscribers in the US over the age of 18. YouTube acknowledges that the AI tools may not always be accurate and is cautious about potential issues with comment moderation.
