C2PA manifest

AI-generated images may include a valid, signed C2PA manifest. If you create a clip by selecting the icon and reuse or share the content that you produce with a C2PA manifest on an external platform, that platform can access this metadata.

C2PA standards: This technology is based on an open standard for content origin and authenticity developed by the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA). This standard allows users ways to understand the authenticity and origin of different types of media like images, videos and audio.

Send feedback

As with any generative AI tool, mistakes are possible and we may not always get it right. That's why we encourage creators to review all AI-generated content carefully before publishing it to YouTube, just as they would do in any other situation.

If you find issues with generated text or images for your posts, you can send us feedback.

We want you to feel safe when you're on YouTube, which is why we encourage you to let us know if videos or comments on the site violate your privacy or sense of safety. Learn more about how you can protect your identity on YouTube.
