YouTube creators unaware Google uses their videos to train AI

techspot.com Rob Thubron 2025-09-23 13:44:00

A hot potato: When it comes to tech companies training their AI models, it seems everything is fair game. Google, for example, uses some of the billions of videos on YouTube to train Gemini and Veo 3, and many creators are unaware that it's happening. With more than 20 billion videos on the platform, YouTube is a treasure trove of data for AI companies to exploit – and many already have. YouTube owner Google is also using the content to train its AI models, reports CNBC. The company later conf

Ahead of Google Assistant’s death, Gemini finally inherits this much-loved feature

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Gemini has finally received another long-awaited Google Assistant feature. The chatbot can now identify songs playing nearby using the Google app’s Song Search feature.
