YouTube Introduces Policy to Remove AI-Generated Impersonations

New guidelines allow users to request takedowns of synthetic content mimicking their likeness, with specific criteria for removal.

YouTube's updated policy lets users request the removal of AI-generated content that looks or sounds like them.
The request process includes factors like whether the content is realistic, disclosed as synthetic, and uniquely identifiable.
Only first-party claims are accepted, with exceptions for minors, those without internet access, or deceased individuals.
Content creators have 48 hours to act on removal requests by trimming, blurring, or deleting the video.
YouTube's approach aims to balance privacy protection with considerations for satire, parody, and public interest content.
