It automatically generates descriptions for hundreds of millions of videos in their metadata, making them more searchable.
Here 's how AI is helping creators and viewers.
A Google DeepMind AI language model is now making descriptions for YouTube Shorts - The Verge

YouTube shorts often don't have enough descriptions and titles, and this seems to be the cause of the low searchability of YouTube short videos. According to Colin Murdoch, CEO of Google DeepMind, in the case of YouTube shorts, creators may not add metadata because the process of creating videos is simpler and more streamlined than longer videos.
Todd Sherman, director of product management for YouTube Shorts, said, 'YouTube Shorts are mostly viewed on the feed, and people swipe to the next video instead of actively searching to find the video. It's a find style, so the incentive to add metadata isn't that great.'
Flamingo, a visual language model, analyzes the first frame of a video and verbalizes it to automatically create a descriptive text.
This description is not visible to the user and is only stored as metadata and is used to improve the searchability of the YouTube Short video.
“The Flamingo model understands videos in YouTube shorts and provides descriptive text,” Sherman said. You will be able to search properly.'
The IT news site The Verge asked Mr. Sherman whether Flamingo will create metadata for videos other than YouTube shorts. ``It's quite possible, but I think it's a little less necessary than YouTube shorts,'' Sherman said. For longer videos, creators spend hours filming and editing, and even tinkering with meta tags, thumbnails, etc. of the video, making it less useful to create metadata in Flamingo.
In addition, The Verge referred to an incident in which Google Photos tagged black people as gorillas in the past about AI's Flamingo analyzing videos and attaching text tags, saying, ``I made a serious mistake and caused damage to creators. , could expose Google to great criticism.'
Even after eight years have passed since Google's AI classified blacks as 'gorillas', Google, Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft's AIs avoid labeling gorillas-GIGAZINE
