Microsoft's Edge Copilot AI Falls Short in Summarizing YouTube Videos

Microsoft's AI Copilot in the Edge browser now has the ability to generate text summaries of videos, but it is limited to pre-processed videos or those with subtitles. The feature works by summarizing the text transcripts of the videos rather than the videos themselves. Copilot can also summarize Teams video meetings and calls, as well as any video on Microsoft Stream, but it requires transcriptions. While Copilot appeared to work well in summarizing a YouTube video in a screen recording, it is unclear how well it will work for most publicly available videos. This feature is part of Microsoft's competition with Google in the generative AI race.

YouTube Harnesses AI to Enhance Video Summaries and Viewer Experience

Google is testing the use of AI-generated video summaries on YouTube, allowing users to read a brief overview of a video's contents before deciding to watch it. These summaries will only be available for a limited number of English-language videos and a limited number of users. The experiment is part of Google's broader efforts to explore the applications of generative AI technology. If the feature is expanded, it could potentially impact how YouTube creators structure their videos to cater to both human viewers and Google's AI algorithm.
