Learn about the AI-powered carousel of search results on YouTube

YouTube is experimenting with an AI-powered carousel of results to enhance video discovery when searching on YouTube. For certain categorical, information-seeking queries, users may see an AI-powered carousel of videos, concise topic descriptions and other relevant information that directs viewers to specific segments of YouTube videos when they look up certain queries. This feature aims to improve navigation and the understanding of search results, allowing users to quickly find the most relevant content.

For example, if you search for 'things to do in Paris', you may see an AI-powered carousel of results that highlights clips from videos about topics related to your search, such as the best cafes or museums to visit in the city. It will also include concise descriptions of the topics and will direct you to relevant videos on YouTube to learn more.

How does the AI-powered results carousel on YouTube work?

When a search query is entered into YouTube, a new results carousel may appear, providing a summary of relevant videos, topics and insights. This feature uses LLMs and generative AI to display a carousel of identified key topics, short video clips about those topics and related information. It is designed to facilitate efficient navigation and the understanding of relevant videos and search results. You can even directly click on a video as well, to jump to the specific portion that's correct based on your query.
